my first camera's a pentax k-3

It seemed to have all the fancy stuff that gets locked behind more expensive cameras without being nearly pricey. Are canons the apple of cameras?

So moop, are you going through baiting all the brands at once now? It didn't work right going at one at a week before so why do you think it will work now?

I dumped my 9 year relationship with Nippon and jumped on the Pentax bandwagon last year. Probably the best choice I could have ever made and the quality of my photographs improved tenfold. If you're not shooting Pentax, you're actively gimping yourself.

Pentax make great bodies for the price, but their lens selection is pretty frustrating. The good primes are all super expensive and weird focal lengths.

Ricoh already made a statement to keep Pentax alive as a whole and mostly focusing on the mid-range to high end lenses and cameras. That mostly means that Pentax stays and the entry level cameras will continue to have mid-range features.
Ricoh Imaging might be the main company name since the K-5IIs and K-3 but Pentax as a name and brand will stay indefinitely.

ebay. bought the whole camera, came with that lens. paid something like $600, shipping included, for the Pentax 6x7 MLU, that lens you saw, the wood grip and a working metered viewfinder. japan seller.

must say that the wood grip is a must, buying it alone can be expensive, so the best is to get the whole combo.

I'm assuming they're limiting features to sell their software and/or licensing rights to their raw format
