Pentax and Pentaxians will have to accept that there will be speculations about the future of the brand as there are hardly any new products on the market. All the rest of the camera manufacturers are releasing new products, not all of them breathtaking, but new products. The delay of the K3 mark III and the delay of priomised new lenses like DFA 50 is not helping the company.


The last flash to be released was in 2015, The last lens in 2016. There are in Sweden only 4 camera models sold branded with Pentax name. One is the Efina from 2013. Firmware updates for KP and K-70 has occured during 2017 but they haven't givven the cameras more than stability, no new features.


The K-1 is a fantastic camera, but once you bought it the only income Pentax will get from it is incomes from lenses and other gadgets and there aren't enaough new products to buy. Frankly there are maybe too many nice old and good pentax lenses on the market to kill Pentax as a brand. I love taking photos with my K-1 but I think it's kind of boring to be a Pentaxian when it comes to buying things. The K-1 mark II is not anything I care to pay for. Give me a K-3 mark III with fantastic specs and performance and we are talking!

Pentax is a company and they cannot survive on our praises only, they need cash to survive and a lot of them too.It hurts to admit but I do believe Pentax won't be on the global camera market in 2019 if they don't come up with some revolutionary products soon. Not even the company itself is marketing Pentax as an innovative brand based on the information they present on their websites.


Oh, I do hope I'm wrong!

Well, even without any troubles there are problems. There simply isn't enough time to spend with this marvelous invention. I've also lost a bit if interest in my beloved k-30...
