Some Pentax Q Modelling Photos (with a Girl Model)



by Chun Juan, see more photos here.

It can be seen that officially the Pentax Q is intended for the girls and ladies, but not for men, quite possibly.

Do also note that all the above photos were made with the Full Frame Sony A900 and lenses, but not by the Q, nevertheless. The shallow DoF (Depth of Field) already indicates that it is not by the Q, very obviously.

Ironically sad. Pentax has done nothing buy tell its customers (what's left of them) that FullFrame is not needed. Then, Pentax uses FullFrame cameras from other manufacturers to photograph crappy Pentax products. A Sony A900 for these Q shots and it was a Canon FullFrame in the past to photograph the Pentax DSLR line.

PATHETIC.

If the 645D is so great, it should have been used. Pentax should have insisted knowing how EXIF data can be read from digital files.

R.I.P. Pentax. A lot of Pentax customers left to buy Sony, Canon and Nikon FullFrame DSLR's.

I've never seen a company work so hard to give away market share.

COMPLETE Ineptness.

Pentax has nothing to offer anyone that takes photography seriously. Just dinosaurs and cheapskate.

Turn the lights off when you're done.

FYI:
- Pentax never said that FF is not needed. What they said (some time ago) was that FF wasn't a priority.
- Those images are not made by Pentax. They hired a company that does such stuff (Pentax, if you don't know, is more on the camera making business rather than advertising). Should they even care what tools were used, instead of the end result?

Let me guess, you have a cheap canikon with the kit lens?

Who is a lot? Mr. R.I.P. - Raster Image Processor? I just ordered DA 15mm Limited... tiny & I've had too much fun with borrowed one, getting my own.
Not so fast!
Mostly all these PR syle shots are done by an out of the house agency. Pentax can't dictate what camera gear the Ad agent use.

Of course Pentax can dictate that!

"Here's a 645D and some lenses. Use it."

Inept is the right word. At the Q is targeted at the inept.
So that means that you dont have a girl or maybe you are gay. I do have a girlfriend and she really wants a Q. Have you seen a woman with high heels? Do you think that they are comfortable? Its all about fashion, a girls thing.

Sorry Rice for the personal attack, but it bothers me when someone threat a woman as "inept".
Guys, stay calm, don't use extreme words and be human, please.
Yeah, sorry Rice. Didnt mean to be rude.
What's more important for Pentax?
A. To get the results they need
B. To make you stop bitching about a non-issue

By the way, asking (not dictating - FFS, it's just a regular commercial contract) them to test new, different brand equipment with which they're completely unfamiliar during a $$$ photoshoot is such a great idea. NOT!

But Pentax is ready to sell it? Must be their legendary quality control you are thinking of.

pentax q stuggle to stay sales charts because some people beleave only the big two camera manufacturers deserver to stay in the camera bussiness. This is why the venom comes out when pentax ,sony ect release anything. Even before they have released product and noone has tested them. Not everyone whats to use the same brand. We are not all led by the nose rings of canon and nikon. I am not saying the big two don't deserve their place but there is room for others to innovate and creat new products.

ILDCs of Sony, Panasonic and Olympus do not have the same hard time to stay in the charts, however. In fact, they have been doing quite well afterall.
