For those who read their site, they're basically Leica users BUT from the samples i see here from users this particular statement from their brief use at Photokina has me shaking my head, i've always respected their knowledge but this just doesn't seem at all very unbiased?
i used the camera at photokina. i have used the kit lens and some older lenses, included the 400 56....
the kit lens is fast ...clearly is always medium format and the focus is still slower in low light than a dslr, but i havent noticed any great slowness..the fa 400 and held focus pretty fast, sometimes it hunted when losong focus, but consider it's my first attempt to the camera.
the results ar egreat. dont believe those leica user. the leica wil end up as a nice tool for rich pčeople mostly.
i have tried all the mf, pentax is clera that is worrying many of the mf producer.
hassy:
brick, weight a tons, ridicolous lcd screen ( a rep told me not to use it for reviewing),
nice lenses, weight a tons even the lenses, good choiche of new lenses, price is good but still far higher than pentax. mostly a studio camera with good tethered
good af with the af mechanism for recomposing, very nice addition
leica s
brick. weight a tons. the lens are all metal barrel lens, the kit is superbly made. viewfinder on par with pentax. only one focus point. focus not so fast as claimed.
iq great ( but i thnk the pentax is no slouch here). cost: a three system set u 35000 euro. good luck.- for me a camera for collector and rich people. the truth in studio is behind the hassy and phase one for tethering, in the field is behind the pentax for portabiloty and choiche of lenses,
pentax
is a big 35, not so bigger than d3x. what can i add more? the other are unconventional brick camera. the pentax is a weather sealed k7 in steroids. great for fields and outdoor shooting ( pentax must release Leaf sync lenses absolutely), but also in studio with eye fi card and sdouble slot.
the iq quality will be the same as leica and hassy, same sensor, and i think pentax has shown great skills in using sensor to producing great IQ.
