Seriously people don't relise just how good Pentax gear is. I have been using Prntax gear for about 10 years. It's brilliant gear and cameras I will be using for years to come.

I love my K-1, and for me 36 Mpx is a sweet spot. I passed on the Mark II version, but I would definitely pull the trigger on a Mark III with the K-3 III autofocus.

I have two of these cameras (so I don't need to change lenses) and absolutely love them. The K1-MII was streets ahead at launch and still outshines many high end cameras today. I can't even imagine what the MIII will be.

@@maboleth I waited two years after the K3MIII expecting a new model. I am 95% sure they have something in the works. But, like you say, they take their time to make the next camera the best out there. I do think that 6 years is long enough - but then I have a Nintendo Switch and that thing keeps surprising the hell out of me after 7 years.

The image quality wise, it won't be better than Fuji GFX line which became dirt cheap nowadays on used medium format market. On the other hand, one thing is for sure, no full frame camera on the planet eath comes close to K1 / K1 ii in dynamic range. (from a former short period k1 ii owner, who now owns the gfx 100s).

Nice video! Pentax K1ii is such a great camera for consulting arborists. No matter the light conditions, always clear and sharp images. Dirt, sand or rain doesn’t matter. In fact, I haven’t had and found a competitive camera to make the job done!

I am a Canon shooter nevertheless, watching this video. Because I nourish deep respect for Pentax. As Canon and Nikon seem leaning towards stopping production of DSLRs, I would certainly look towards Pentax in case I fail to find replacements for my beloved DSLRs when they die. I'm not interested at all in mirrorless cameras. IMO, those cameras incorporate more limitations than advantages to make it worthwhile. However, that's me. Thank you for the video.

Pentax K-1. When you look through the viewfinder directly at a powerful light source (mainly the Sun), you can see that are difficult to see, and even disappear (due to the internal reflections of light in the pentaprism I imagine), the green light diodes of exposure information (speed, aperture, EV, ISO, etc.) Does anyone know how to solve this problem? Is it possible to adjust the power of the viewfinder's light diodes? Or how?
@petemellows8 ай бұрын
You really shouldn't be looking directly at a strong light source through the viewfinder. You are far better off using Live Mode to protect your eyes. It also has the advantage of giving you a good approximation of the effect of the settings.
