As someone who has worked in both process and product development, these things are more difficult and expensive than you think.

I took just a couple of “grab shots”. So much is going on I didn’t want to spend a lot of time taking photos.
This was my fourth total eclipse.
My recommendation for everyone for their first total is not to take photos- the experience is so overwhelming you want to take in as much as you can.

The K70/KF analogy is an interesting thought.

Are you implying that are discontinuing their flagship crop format camera or updating it? Thanks.

If this is your first/only Total Solar Eclipse I recommend not spending time taking photos. It is such an amazingly overwhelming experience with so many things going on that you want to take all of that in.

Nice work but it is definitely magnitudes more expensive than I can imagine spending.

Some wonderful photography in this thread but I think you are right. I will use my ring flash more and experiment with my rail.
Thanks.

I enjoy macro photography and I have two primary tools: a Tamron 90mm and a reversed lens setup using a 50mm lens. I have fiddled with the 0.5x macro setting on a couple Sigma lenses but they really aren’t a priority.
Here are a couple of examples of the Tamron:
Here are couple with the reversed lens set-up:
I can’t recall too many, if any times that I have said to myself-“man, I couldn’t get that shot because I don’t have….”
But that doesn’t mean I wouldn’t find some good applications for a new lens.
Does anyone have any suggestions about a different focal length Pentax or maybe one of the specialty lenses from Mitakon or Venus? (But not the $1300 probe lens from Venus).
I do have a rail for use with a specialty lens that doesn’t focus.
Like I said, this is not a huge priority but it is something I have toyed with doing.
Thanks!

Given the tremendous decline in trade shows, Ricoh not attending is to be expected. Very low return on the investment.
