Well, I had a situation where I was doing an LDS wedding in San Diego at the LDS temple there....very tall steeples, beautiful building. Unfortunately, the 21mm would not cover it. So I will be purchasing a 14mm prime.

I like the feel of the camera with a prime. And I think many photogs would agree that they FORCE you to THINK about your photos.

Check out www.photography.byeric.com

All of the photos on that page were taken with either a 77mm, 21mm or 43mm lens.

I just got the 40mm and I really like it. Thinking about the 14mm, a 31mm and 70mm. 100mm Macro looks nice too.

If I tried doing this with a leica, it would cost me $30K

Where did you hear about the specs? What can you tell us other than what YOURE doing? any other information? How long will we have to wait.

Inquiring minds want to know :o

leadbelly, are you in the USA?

If so, we send it to Colorado. I have a K10D in for service...it takes about 2-3 weeks.

Dear God, I don't think I can take much more of this prognostication....

:fedup:

I mean it is interesting to a point...and I certainly mean no disrespect.....but I for one am waiting for the "ANNOUNCEMENT" this week.

If we don't hear anything this week.....well, Benjikan.....it's your fault. :)

I mean I want to be able to sit with my fellow photogs shooting Canon and Nikon and brag about......something......and frankly.... two new P&S is not that something.

So I'm hopin for this week to be the week.

Noticeably silent is Ben, Ned and others connected to PENTAX....is this a sign?

PS- sorry to hijack this thread. I'll shutup now. :cool:

Let us not forget that Japanese companies do not think like westerners...

There are normally long-term plans in place, that go beyond 10-20 years....

Agreed. except, there are NOT a lot.... just go over the Digitial Wedding Forum and ask. And that's a problem, in a world where Pentax used to be.....ummmm.... at least a prince among princes.....

Now it's King and Queen Nikon and Canon (you pick the order).

And many pro wedding photogs want to rent lenses from time to time....there is NO Pentax lens rental in the USA that I am aware of.

My only hope is that the 50-135 I'm planning on getting focuses on my K10D faster than the primes or the 16-45 I have.

BTW, many wedding shooters won't even consider taking you on as a seond shooter if you don't have Canon or Nikon.....

I guess they havent seen the beautiful rendition of our pentax glass.

:cool:

I'm a K10D owner and I run my own photo (wedding) business. I came here to join the Pentax faithful.

It's a lonely world out there among my Canon and Nikon (and a few Leica) peers who do weddings.

K100D: Hesitations on squeezing trigger.

The D40/D40x is an absolutely fantastic camera.

And in my opinion, based on my anecdotal tests (I own the K10D) of the K100D, I think the D40x is faster....especially when taking multiple quick shots.

This is NOT scientific so just a possible observation from one person.

Please also note that the D40x can only use a limited amount of Nikon lenses, since it has no motor in the body.

BUT, I would say, since I have the 16-45, that it is an absolutely beautiful lens. Can't say much about any of the new f2.8 offerings, since so few of us were able to scrape them up.

Long story short, I think that while the D40/D40x is a great camera, no doubt about it.....you will be happier in the long run with the lens and photo quality of the K100D (SUPER)

From a marketing standpoint, people are already ordering the D300 and Canon 40D.....

I think that any delay only prevents new users from discovering Pentax. Assuming the new camera(s) are of comparable specs, one cannot understand why Pentax is not keeping up with the Big 2. There are thousands of pre-orders for Nikon and Canon's new offerings being made at B&H, RITZ and others.

If I was a camera company, I would want my stuff out there, to show how much better it is than anything else. Getting the Pentax faithful to dump their K10D bodies for the K??, or enticing us to purchase an extra body is a smaller market than bringing new users into the fold.

AND, the three new 2.8 lenses, if of similar quality to other Pentax lenses are quite a good range for the wedding and portrait photographer.

I would hope that an announcement would come very very soon and that an event similar to the one sponsored by Nikon in Tokyo earlier this week is an absolute necessity in the battle to win market share.

Pentax does NOT have a good reputation in the wedding and portrait photography industry....that's why most people are shooting Nikon and Canon.

And certainly, the D300 and D3 are much sturdier cameras than the K10D (which I own and love), so if Pentax desires any part of the pro market, they will need to act fast and with something as good in quality and features as the K10D, but much, much better, because that's what the consumer wants.

We can argue all day over LBA, CBA (camera buying addiction) and all of that, but the fact of the matter is that for many people, 'upgrading' every 2-3 years (or even sooner in some cases) is the norm and the only way a company will survive in the 21st century.

Just one human beings opinion
