Long story short, he shoots Nikon now. When Ricoh ditched Jim Malcolm he felt dissed by Ricoh.

That wasn't the only reason. It just added emotional justification and urgency to the already well-known shortfalls of K-mount (cost, professional lens and flash ecosystems, etc.) that I didn't see being rectified at an appropriate pace, especially compared to what already existed for the other mounts (and for cheaper).

With the recent announcement of Godox's XPRO-P trigger, that pro-grade flash issue ecosystem is no longer a shortfall.

Still lurking on occasion though

My first time seeing this demonstration- very impressive to say the least! So are your experiences! Thank you for continuing the critically important photo documentation of military involvements, which befit having a free country. Your images are marvelous. Best wishes to you and your comrades.

Absolutely, I wonder how many were convinced to buy Pentax after that video
