K-3 iii + 2.8/11-18

Dear colleagues, you can congratulate me.
I bought just such a kit and in the near future I plan - if time permits - to conduct a comparative test against the "usual" K-3, and in addition, a comparison of lenses: * 2.8 / 11-18 vs 2.8 / 14 vs Sigma 10-20. I can also add * 2.8 / 16-50 on short focus if interested.
I just need to go for the rest of the photographic equipment, because of circumstances I have it in another city now.

The very first impression: charging via USB-C is good, and even right.
But the charging cord is VERY short. At least a longer cord could have been put in the Premium kit.

Second impression: this is the best (for ease of holding and control) DSLR camera that I have ever held in my hands. Before that, the most convenient for me (in terms of ergonomics) was the Pentax Z-1.

Quick word of advice, as soon as possible buy yourself a couple of extra batteries an a decent charger.

Быстрый совет, как можно скорее купите себе пару дополнительных батарей и приличное зарядное устройство.

I also have K-5 IIs and K-3 (both with batblocks) in my store, so there are enough chargers and batteries.

(But K-5 has to be sold now.)

The *2.8 / 11-18 lens at 18 mm is incredibly sharp!

I have never had a camera with such a voluminous User Manual before!

The implementation of plans slowed down a little - I was seriously ill with COVID-19, but things are going as well as possible...
