Hi,
I have kind of an on/off relation with Pentax. My first DSLR was a Pentax K100D, loved the handling. I then had the idea I wanted to shoot birds (photos of birds that is, not actually shoot them) and the offerings for big tele lenses for Pentax are pretty limited. So I switched to Canon, a decision I still have mixed feelings about. I lost interest in birds as well
Next to the Canon a small
Ricoh GR III wandered into my life. What a joy to use! I have used that little camera for a couple of years and have now upgraded it to a
Ricoh GR with the APS-C sensor and no AA filter. In one word: WOW! And I was very glad to see Ricoh and Pentax found each other, that can make a great marriage.
For DSLR work I am still with Canon (70D) and a couple of Canon (15-85, 100-400) and Zeiss (50mm makro-planar, 100m makro-planar) lenses, but I recently had the luck to pick up a
Pentax-A 645 120mm F4.0 macro (€150), a
Pentax-A 645 35mm f3.5 (€425) and a Kiwi adaptor for Pentax 645 to Canon EOS. I am now considering to ditch my Zeiss 100mm makro-planar in favor of the Pentax. What a great lens! I have not tried the 35mm yet, but the reviews on this forum sound promising.
Next step is a Mirex tilt-shift adapter so I can start to do some odd perspective work with both Pentax lenses on the Canon body. That should prove interesting
