Wow....it seems you're a bit nervous.
Im a member of this board for the last 6 or 7 years, subscriber and even a contributor. There was a time where I was checking the Pentax forum every day, now theses days are gone because not enough free time to spend on computer related stuff.
Tell me where should I ask then ?
I dont see me as being agressive at all, Im just trying to get info from the best place on earth about Pentax upcoming stuff...
Chill man, I LOVE PENTAX.

I see, and I agree it could be tiresome but I thought I would ask a genuine question, being lazy going thru all the thread...or being too busy.
GRIII is on my list, boorwed it from a friend for a couple hours and it's been a great little camera !
Well, I can't buy any Non related to business gear for now, the video aspect of things is really expensive and I have to focus on that first.
But Ill never sell my K3 lol too much personal relationship with that baby ! in fact the next CD release featuring one of my pics was taken with the K3 and 50-135mm, that was a special combo.

I bought a new K1 soon after release, enjoyed every piece of it for 2 years. The IQ is outstanding for the money and it delivers big time.
I bought a new Fuji X-T3, enjoy every piece of it's technology for a year now. The IQ is outstanding for the money and it delivers big time. What made me switch to Fuji is that I work more and more on Videos (getting paid I mean) and Pentax was not even an option.
What I mean really is that both cameras delivers incredible IQ, and I do miss the Astrotracer fonction sometimes (I never really used PS because it was too cumbersome to proceed the images with softwares), but I was convinced to go the Mirrorless way when I tried both Sony and Fuji for a few weeks each system.
For my need it was the way to go and Pentax never really told their customers that they will engage ressources that way.
So I made a decision, based on my business, and I dont regret it.
But as a personal photographer I wish I still had a K1 to shoot let's say landscapes !
Also I was skeptical about Pentax brand in the future, I had to make a move business wise and there was no Pentax option for me.

Hi all,
As a long time Pentax user (9 years) and even if I went the Mirrorless way with Fuji APSC about a year ago, Im still very attached to this brand.
I was looking for some info on latest updates about bodies and lenses but couldnt find any thread about it.
It's probably dissiminated among many threads and Im sorry if this is covered somewhere but can someone tell me whats up with the brand ?
when I left last october there were rumors about at least :
APSC flagship
85mm /F1.4
70/200/ /F4
Im just curious and I sincerly hope there are some good news on the Pentax front, I've kept some of my FF lenses and I might buy a FF Pentax camera again at some point.
Thanks for your input.

By the way, I changed my user button from FACEDETECT ON/OFF to FACE SWITCH. This shortcut activate the face/eye detection directly.

Hi all,
The recent firmware update 3.0 fixed one of my main concern with the X-T3, the ability to choose between different faces with the joystick is finally here!
I've tried with 3 people in the frame and it's been a pleasure to switch face detection focus.
On top of that the sensitivity and tracking has been hugely improved, the algorithm was able to track 3 quickly moving faces about 6-7 meters away (in daylight) in af-c mode.
I haven't tested to the limit yet, but it's been a nice update so far...congrats to Fuji!

I've been using the 80mm Macro pretty intensively since I bought it, it's a great lens for sharpness but also has a great bokeh.
With the Srping kickin in in Europe of course I've shot some flowers!

Hi all,
Went back from a trip in Cambodia, had to travel light but still managed to take the X-T3, 16-55m, 10-24mm and 55-200mm + a set of ND filters and Tripod.
This was not a trip focused on photography :lol:
The only situation where my Pentax K1was really missing was Astrophotography, I tried on one occasion with the 16-55mm and the result are not that good.
But for most situation I was very happy shooting the Fuji X System once more.

I agree, JPEG shooting has been a new path to taking pictures for me. I've learned some new things by shooting JPEG's with a ML camera.
Of course I keep shooting RAW alongside and the last image I posted is purely a RAW image shooting and PP.

Thanks, I just did a A3+ Print on Canon Platinum Matte paper and it is looking really good.
After 4 months shooting the Fuji System almost exclusively I can say Im very happy, not only by the results (IQ and Prints) but also by the whole Fuji shooting experience.
Another example of Fuji strong points : I've done a photo reportage for an association recently and ended using only the Jpegs SOOC ! Huge time saver and the client was really satisfied.

Bibliothèque Nationale de France.
X-T3 and XF16-55mm @F11 ISO160 - 60 seconds.
I got out of subway when I saw the colors in the sky, ran to that spot and in a minute the camera was on tripod, ND filter attached and ready for a 50 seconds exposure. Glad I was carrying my camera bag today when commuting.
BTW I used some GOBE filter set for the first time on this image. They are relatively low priced and I think the quality is great for the price. The 3 filters set has a nice box and a smart way to keep them attached when not on camera.

It's been great really. Super portable and after about a year of regular use I would recommend that flash unit.
Coupled with the XPro Fuji version it is very reliable since I updated both firmware.
Sometimes in TTL there is issues with wrong metering and then wrong flash compensation but it's pretty rare.
It's otherwise rather consistent, I use it in manual mode mself as there was no TTL support for Pentax up until recently.
I had a couple weddings where it really shined outdoors.
Very good recycle time, instant as long as you're at or below 1/4 of power, about 1 sec below 1/2 power and a couple seconds at full power.
I do think a more powerful version might be better for your outdoor shoots though, check AD400 or AD600.
I was thinkin about buying a second one, coupled with the double AD200 adapter, for my outdoor shootings.

You're getting up to speed with your Fuji Gear Christopher !
Wonderful pictures with the LeRolls touch :D
Congrats.
Always difficult to post pictures right after yours lol !
This one is from a Shoot held right before theses musicians went on stage at the Blue Whale in Los Angeles.
I just set a Godox AD200 on a softbox, took my 50-140mm @F4 and ISO160, had a very limited time, shot a couple images and voila!

Just came back from L.A, had a lot of fun there shooting concerts (photo and video) with the X-T3 and either the 50-140mm or 16-55mm. Great combo.
I took some time to shoot landscapes a little bit as well.
The long exposure was taken with the 10-24mm /F4, the Pier shot with 50-140mm/F2,8 and the Parking sunset handheld with the 16-55mm /F2,8.
