Kazunobu Saiki on the upcoming FF,"Ok, well we know that some of our valuable customers have already changed systems. So in that sense we're late for them, and we're sorry." This is a significant apology coming from a Japanese company!
I hope at least some customers that left for other brands come back.
Interesting article. As far as the megapixel war is concerned, 36 megapixel is better for me than Canon's 50 megapixel. A 36 megapixel-sensor would be a good compromise between resolution and low light capabilities. i think that the low light capability suffers with small pixel size. The ideal would be to switch between 50, 36 and 24 megapixels at the user's choice, but ma.y be costly to manufacture.
I will be very surprised and disappointed if some means of a thorough dust removal are not provided. I think in such an advanced system it has got to be there.
Guess what? After all the full frame hooplah has died off, Pentax is still in trouble. Serious trouble. A shrinking market and an ever shrinking fanbase in the western world. Pentax fans are now mostly older people. Certain forums are an oasis of denial. Will Ricoh continue on this money losing road? I think they will eventually cut their losses and bail.
I'm concerned. On the auction site, there are many FA*85 and FA*80-200 sitting there. These are legendary lenses that have been hard to find in recent years. They aren't selling. It's like these people were waiting for the FF to sell them. There's a glut now.
If the FF materializes, an FA*80-200 is a smart buy at half the price of the new lens without aperture ring.
One weird thing. The over-rated, over-priced, FA20-35f4, however, is nowhere to be found anymore.
Many thanks. Also the D-FA 100/2.8 WR Macro needs to go. I'm kind of sad to get rid of it all in a way but can't justify (or carry!) two systems. My FA 31 had the wobble problem and was dreadful, but got it fixed and now it's really good. My 77 is flawless, never seen any LoCA or PF from it.
Logging you in...

I mean every time zero dust on the sensor with all lenses.

Need to finance the new Sony FE 35/1.4 ZA and a recent purchase of the FE 7-200/4 G.
