Multiple talents here ;) Thanks.

Thank you!

Flashes are very low and not a problem for newborns or all my generation wold be blind...

@@LuigiBarbano Don't know, I've never took chances...

BTS? Sorry but it's out of my English knowledge...

I will start to test i the new year :)

YEP!!!

I had been a good guy so I'll be happy with a year I deserve! :D :D Thanks, Merry Christmas to you.

Thank you, have a great Christmas.

Thanks. I'll have o try some cheap Chinese lenses. K1 is a big camera but sometime is good thing, more inertia and a better grip. We will see what the future will bring!

Thank you. As a general lens the 43 limited or the 35mm can be nice. If you want the 50mm is very good and very cheap. A nice way to start.

Thanks, to you too.

Thanks, same to you and your family.

I had access to it to make a test but I sadly had to give it back to the Italian importer after a couple of months... same with the Kimono... and I miss the Kimono a lot!

Thanks!

Hasselblad 500 manual was 15 pages... with a lot of pictures!

It's a camera for photographers, as far as possible from a smartphone.

I still have a nice collection of fil cameras by Pentax. Only one that seems to have problems now is an LX, electronic is not working properly, I'll have to see if I can fix it.

Thanks! Yep, simple is better... but simplicity is not trendy :)

I had to switch after the *istD, I needed more resolution and a full frame so I want to Canon and then Fuji, but since the K1 I waited for an excuse to get back to Pentax. Loved it in film and I missed it. ergonomically are always perfect for my hands.

"Pentax really stands by their customers." LOL, yeah, unless you need hardware, like for instance lens contacts which they won't sell to you. Of course in Luigi's case that is not an issue with the old manual lenses. And, I have been using Pentax cameras for only over 40 years.

@@joedusel Sadly in the modern era "assistance" is a lost word. Try to get a spare for a dishwasher or even for a car. Pentax has sure to improve but I think is not worse than other brands. I had a problem with an Epson printer, the spare heads are available but only they could install it and at the end costs more than a new printer. When the world recycling was invented the authorization for trashing instead of fixing was granted.

Thanks. The wine box was around and free... and came out pretty good :)

Not the right weight for hiking :) But yes, it's a great camera!

thanks

Amen to that!

I work at a camera store. Still a lot of folks out there who are perfectly happy with their DSLRs and simply don’t need the tech features featured in mirrorless systems. It’s sad to see Canon really drop DSLR support, at least Nikon is keeping a lot of their F lenses going, despite both brands officially ceasing DSLR development. Me personally, after mostly shooting film for 7 years, really am not so interested in Live view / EVF shooting. Maybe photographing Usain Bolt or a cheetah or F1, sure, give me a Sony A9. Otherwise, I’ll keep my OVF, Buttons and Dials!

@@jbones360 Amen!

Thanks for subscribing.

@@LuigiBarbano My pleasure mate. Just a small but important tip regarding the dynamic range if you haven't experienced it yet, but you surely will. K1 ii full dynamic range potential starts at iso125. At iso100 you will get purple magenta stuff in the deep shadows in high dynamic range scenes (but not always), that is due to the new accelerator chip. Just switch from one stop EV iso increments to 3 stops, i.e. 125-160-200 instead of 100-200-400. You do not have to switch if you do not want to, just use iso200. i personally use iso125 as basic. Enjoy your k1ii.

@@sovu9399 thanks for the tip! I will try that.

Sure I will, I fell in love with that camera when I tested it last year! :) Thank you.

I'm enjoying it. I was pentax since the ME Super, in digital after the *ist D I switched to Cano for a while, than Fuji and now back to Pentax!

I’m wondering how people react seeing a Pentax when you photograph events. My wife’s home country has a lot more Pentax cameras in the wild, she even though isn’t a photographer, knows the brand. In the west, people either think it’s an old film camera, have no idea, or think I’m possessed for buying a new Pentax (K3 III). So far my experience with it, it’s a very impressive DSLR for an APSC. ISO sensitivity is pretty good, autofocus is very snappy, the OVF is MASSIVE and bright, and the UI is mostly great to navigate & understand (I say mostly because I’m completely new to it and used to Canon). I look forward to doing some events and turning heads with a quality camera people simply don’t know anything about!

@@jbones360 Thanks for your input. Yep, people looks quite strange seeing a Pentax... even stranger when I use the Pentax 67 or the Hasselblad :)

@@jbones360 Indeed it gets some attention. That’s OK - I love discussing (but never arguing). When a severe storm blew through a track meet I was working, I was the only one left shooting. A couple of other photographers asked ‘OK what is that camera?’

My dream is still the Kimono... next time!

Don't discount the K1 in crop mode. Also many apsc lenses still cover the full frame sensor of the K1 with minimal vignetting. K3III is a phenomenal camera too

Yeah, but all my lenses are only Apsc, I think none cover FF. 60-250 does but I would need to modify it.

I never used the 5D III, I had the first 5D. I think Canon have a good quality but simply the cameras are not made for me, I always feel all the controls in the wrong place... so I cannot really tell which one is better. I sure like the Pentax a lot.

I checked 5D Mk IV recently and I consider it worse as DSLR then K-1 Mk II (which I also checked) so I suppose 5D Mk III will not be better. As digital camera 5D series has it pros and cons, Canon sensors are very nice (Pentax is using Sony), I think AF-C is better (AF-S on Pentax is spectacular), Pentax is kinda behind the line with AF tracking software, but normal AF is great. There is bigger choice of modern lenses for Canon, Pentax can use old film era lenses, also autofocusin ones, but modern lens lineup, made for DSLR is kinda disappointing. There are great lenses, but there are not many. As Camera, DSLR camera, K-1 Mk II is hard to beat. I think only Nikon D850 is better and even then there is space to argue about image quality. But in the end truth is that any DSLR from last 10 or so years will work great, unless you shot action. Then there is Nikon and not much else :)

@@jerzyjablonski1432 I miss the Canon 17mm TS... but nothing else from Canon, it's just not right for my hands, I used Canon for many years, never had to complain for the quality but it was designed for someone with very different hands!

The 5D of you're a working pro or aspire to be. Is what it is. I shoot Pentax but this is the reality.

@@TheLocalredhead I'm a pro and still the 5D was never designed for me... I had the 5D and 1DS (21mpx) good quality but never felt at home with Canon.

camera with a voice recognition to tell AI what pictures to create!

Easy to find a pdf manual online... Very good camera to have!

You are lucky, here in Italy we arrived at the end of September... and they do not consider the 27.7% state retirement plan as a tax! I just hope something will change soon also in the EU. Printing the photographs is essential to preserve the memory. Just the iight and you can watch them, no need for compatible computers and software.

@@LuigiBarbano, 27.7% ?!!! Horrible! Let's better enjoy photography 😉

Thank you fro watching

Hello, it can really be a lot of different things. Most of the problems are caused by mechanism you find under the bottom plate. Sometime the problem is deeper... If you look for learncamerarepair on google or facebook you can find a lot of information and repair manuals. Not easy to do a diagnosis at distance... but my suggestion, if you have familiarity with repair or you want to learn, is to start from the bottom plate. I hope this was useful.

thanks, already fixed. It happened on a couple of videos and still don't know why :)

@@LuigiBarbano that means you know your photography but not your audio :)) just kidding, thank you for your insightful videos

@@aspiran2010 Thanks. :)

Thank you!

Thank you!

Thank you

Just today I took some pictures in studio with a mirrorless using flashes and I hated it... spent half hour to set the camera so I could see with the pilot lights...

Agreed!

Amen to that!

I honestly don't know, a lot of cameras at that time were based on something else and I did not found many info online about it. Thanks for the compliment and subscription!

There are a lot of people right now starting with film. They never used it and want to just give it a try to see if they like it or not. A lot of them are young with not much money, let say they have a budget of some $100 bills. In that case the cheapest camera is perfect because they can buy film and develop it. A roll of Black and White developed at home has a price around $10. For each $100 bill saved on the camera is 360 photographs taken. If they like it after 20-30 rolls they can invest in a better camera. If they don't they can resell the camera at the same value and had an experience and lesson learned. BTW, the camera I bought fo 2.5 euros, for a beginner, has the same results as a $600 Pentax LX or a $3000 Leica. If you are learning to drive and your goal is to do the first 200 miles of your life, a used Fiat 500 has the same value as a Lamborghini. Except for the pussy magnet... that is all another value :D

Exactly, it produces only black and white images.

:D :D :D Resist! :D Actually is really fun to get camera listed as spare parts and learn to fix them. But... it's a lot of time and a very good humility lesson :)

@@LuigiBarbanoI would love to do that, but with zero experience or knowledge what to do and what certain parts the internals do sound a bit difficult, but fun!

@@hozunon there is always a first time :)

@@LuigiBarbano That's true, but unfortunately my first attempt made a 60 degrees turn where I ripped out a working lens from a broken rangefinder and and slapped it into a helicoid adapter... It's working fine and I guess it's a free lens for my digital camera now? lol

@@hozunon If it's not a 180 degree turn that is a tactical plan change the brought to victory and not a retreat! ;)

Yes, the headphone cut off the speakers.

Thank you very much/I was looking for this answer@@LuigiBarbano
