LOL, don't have a lot of use for telephoto video...
I ordered the 20-40 Limited which I know is slow, but it should work being a DC motor lens. The 20-40 range would be really quite useful for video actually for me.

Well, I just do not have enough time for watching things like that and that was my comment here, sorry.
The other issue I mentioned is how review by "influencers" works.
When new product is announced there are lot's of review videos based on marketing materials and specification comparing pro and cons without even touching that hardware.So when I try to find out more about something I would like to buy, the web is already flooded with poor quality reviews (from technical point of view).
I'm about to buy this new camera, but it is expensive. So I'm looking for reviews and that is why I've seen your video and have skimmed thru it even before it was mentioned here.
I wish you could add links to specific point in time to your review like this review of BMPCC 6K Pro (49 minutes) so people like me could just get to the part that is interesting for them.
Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 6K Pro | In-Depth Review & Test Footage - YouTube
Having used Pentax gear since I bought a new Pentax ME-Super in 1980 and then using Pentax cameras professionally for 20+ years and having a dedicated Youtube channel which has featured a lot of Pentax content since 2011 with over 11+K subscribers and many recent (hundreds?) comments and emails asking me to "review" the Pentax K3 Mark III, I figured maybe just someone might think I was qualified to start discussing the camera a few days before I actually got one.
Yes, I am making a full time movie and more about the Pentax K3 Mark III. I'm just doing it in "chunks."
I understand if you don't have the time to watch my lunatic ravings. Heck I'm surprised people actually do watch them. But A LOT of people do and seem to enjoy them. (20,300 views and 2,000 hours worth of me ranting last month alone. It really does amaze me. Really.) I very much appreciate your apology, thank you so no worries.
If you think I'm an "influencer" then I sort of take that as a complement. I do think that part of my channels success is a.) I'm basically nuts, and b.) I say what's on my mind, not what I think people want to hear, even if I'm wrong sometimes. I don't think Pentax actually did themselves any favors sending the cameras ahead of time to those "impressionists" along with the same identical script to all of them containing all the nice things they wanted them to say about the camera, with no real substance of how the camera actually performs which is what we all want to know! Myself included.
My "reviews" of the camera will be poor quality, but they won't list specs and read through the menus or be based on marketing materials... Definitley not that. The morons at Pentax don't send me stuff like that...
. They will most likely be 15 minutes of me going off on tangents and 5 minutes of information you just wont get anywhere else. Like what I think of the cameras performance based upon a lifetime of using Pentax's professionally in my usual subtle and eloquent way... LOL.
If you watch my videos from an "entertainment" perspective I promise you every once in a while there's some useful valuable information included by accident. I also do livestreams, my next one is Thursday at approximately 7:00pm PDT. Join me and I'll do my best to answer any questions you may have regarding Pentax cameras or lenses or anything about gear or photography or aviation etc, or just say Hi and hang out... if you have the time.
