I have to come back to the
SMC Pentax-A 35-105mm F3.5 as the most used, even on my K3 it's a gem

Is Pentax actually going to start doing some advertising? New website? What about Twitter and Facebook? That would be more important to me.

I look at them for different purposes. The IQ on both are excellent as I've shot portraits with both but seem to pull out the 18-135 more due to it's quietness and focal range, Most of my shots are within the 25-75mm range. While that may show some overlap I'll stick with the 18-135 for two more reasons...size and zoom ring. The DAL 55-300 is not smooth trying to zoom in and out (at least mine isn't) it's haltingly rough and it's much larger length-wise than the 18-135 but similar in weight on my scales 17.5 oz DAL and 15.9 oz for the 18-135.If you get a smooth one the 55-300 will make a nice addition to your collection but I'm almost positive the newer version (PLM) will run circles around the DAL 55-300. Hope that helps.

Anyone know a place that repairs these old A lens besides Precision? MY A 28 2.8 stopped focusing. It stays wide open and the focus rings just spins now.

I have an older Sigma 17-70C that hasn't had much use since I got the Sigma 17-50 2.8mm lens. I do sometimes miss the extra 20mm of reach but I love the pictures I get with this lens.

This will be the lens I keep out of my current APSC lens if I sell the other zooms. It's weather sealed and takes awesome shots.

Is this app in German only? I clicked the link and it took me to a German Play store

They actually have a Pentax event once a year where they have a Pentax rep come in and talk about Pentax products. I got a really cool Pentax Coffee mug one year :)

I think this reviewer missed the point on what Hand held pixel shift does. It's not for moving subjects, it's for movement in the shooters hands. Improved auto-focus...that's huge for most shooters. Now if it's worth upgrading your K-1 that's up to each individual shooter.

For the life of me I can't find it now but Ricoh announced they've improved the auto focus performance on the new model K1 Mark II. Saw the post on Instagram. If anyone can find it. Post a link for everyone to read. It is very interesting.

Someone will get a early release model and run it through some test and do a YouTube video on it so that they can be the first one to give a video review and get the most views.

Thanks for the response. I'll check it out. I have the medium Rogue Flashbender that I've been using but I'll probably add this.

I saw that "Hands-On Review" but that's not actual testing just handling it at the booth.
