Pentax K3 -Probably the most advanced APS-C DSLR is launched!


Wow, is it time for me to change my black DA15 to this Silver to finish my 15/31/43/77 Silver!!!!??? Poisonous!!!

YES, if Silver gets into the blood stream can be poisonous, so take all safety precautions !
 

some test shot when i pass by
test of the -3ev
the camera certainly live up to it claims of focusing at -3ev
the below lens was deliberately placed inside the pouch under the shade, so it was actually much darker than it is
the camera can af easily effortlessly without much trouble, since my a700 and a900, i dun came across any camera that can do it easily.

Awb [multi]This is the best of the current camera, most of current cameras(full frame,cansonikon) performance varies, but from what i had seen, the k3 had easily the most accurate for skin tone under the indoor lighting, very neutral, very pleasing tone

Hi, can check with you guys who have tried the new HD lenses. Is the built quality better than the old SMC DAs? I briefly had my hands on the HD DA40 on another occasion and the focus ring felt much more damped and manufactured to tighter tolerances than the old SMC DA40. I am not sure if it is just batch variation or the HD lenses' construction have been improved.

any da15 star burst. . I love those stars
 

The K5 serves me very well in my M mode. With the test shots here, it seems difficult to resist getting one K3....


otc
 

just fyi all the test shot was at iso 3200, unedited,unaltered,
so let assume the low iso files will be even more solid

HD limited - 15mm f4 and 70mm f2.4. When the HD lenses are launched, I initially thought it is redesigned to allow full compatibility on HD video. I was wrong. HD lens = High-grade multi-layer HD (High Definition) & Super Protect (SP) Coatings. It is similiar to nano coating.

Interesting (to me) that those who were there for the touch-see are not anyone I recognize from the Pentax outings.
 

i was there too, but not knowing about this touch see haha.
