The Ultimate Pentax K1 Endorsement

.
One of the photography websites that I regularly visit is the Lens Rentals Blog.

They do the best and most thorough lens testing that I've seen published on the Internet.

Today I was reading a post on this blog by Roger Cicala. He's the "the founder of Lensrentals.com, and is hailed as one of the optic nerds there."

Obviously, as the founder/owner of Lensrentals.com he has the ability to shoot any camera he chooses. This is what he says about his cameras of choice - "When I do take real pictures I like using something different: a Medium format, or Pentax K1, or a Sony RX1R." I find that to be very high praise for the K1 camera, that a true optical expert like Roger chooses the K1 as his full-frame DSLR camera of choice!

Given Roger's affection for the K1, I hope (and expect) that he will do a review of the upcoming K1ii camera. You might want to bookmark his blog (like I have) and periodically check it to see his future reviews of cameras and lenses that you might be interested in.

I saw his signature blurb some months ago and was pleased. In a recent tear-down, he mentioned that he had never done one on a Pentax camera. (Cicala really does not do camera reviews as such. His tear-downs are the closest thing.) In some ways that is a good thing, but in other ways...let's just say that he is VERY thorough.

That's one of the best camera endorsements you can get. No one knows what he is talking about like this guy. especially when it comes to reliability.

I think I have read that blog post by Roger where he talks fondly about K-1.
