After reading the many I’m leaving Pentax posts I’ve decided to add mine to the list.
For those who don’t care then you needn’t comment but for those who are interested and maybe even Pentax themselves I think it may be of use to briefly share why.
It’s obvious that Pentax is in trouble therefore my wants and dreams are going to be very unlikely realised, I’ve finally come to terms with that.
For the second year Pentax will not be at the UKs biggest photo show which probably says a lot.
Anyway my quest to find professional quality Full frame lenses especially UWA Has come to an end. Paying a premium for rebranded Tamron lenses simply don’t cut it anymore. I’m sure there will be lots of excuses and good reasons as to why it costs more but hey if you’re happy with that I’m happy for you.
Hoped for Full Frame 24mm 35mm 14mm 85mm maybe 14-35mm the list goes on. Pentax have released a APSC 11-18mm which was really baffling as there are many more APSC options out there so why not show some full frame love? The K1 is a camera full of potential and I have taken some of my favourite non commercial photos with it, I’ve even used the noisy da35 during a wedding ceremony but the novelty has worn off.
My canon kit is used for my business and I secretly hoped one day my Pentax kit would be able to fill the shoes of my Canon kit but it’s not gonna happen.
