    As a Pentaxian, you're used to getting a constant flow of it, but from Gavin, who gives everyone and everything their irreverent deadpan due, it's even funny. Which is likely why Jason plays along with it, while of course knowing that a K-70 paired with a capable standard zoom is actually about as good as landscape rigs get in APS-C. Add a nice telezoom from the DA or DFA lineup for grabbing detail, and you're set for some really nice shots out and about.

    Shout out to my homeboy Jason from a fellow Knoxvillian. I always wanted a Pentax 67. But, I settled for a Hasselblad. The last time I was in Canada, a rather rude bartender asked where I was from. I said, Knoxville, TN. He said, "Never heard of it". I said, "That's ok. They've never heard of you, either." 😛

    One of the funniest episodes yet, but glad you dropped the K200 stunt double though. I think you're spot on with your comments re articulating screens, I like the image quality of my Sony A7R II (at least when poor composition means a tight crop works better) but struggle with low vertical shots on the A7R II with just its tilt screen. As someone who really only shoots landscapes and mainly on manual anyway, my conclusion is that in most situation my K70 is just a better tool and one of the reasons is the articulating screen (I know its not uniquely Pentax)

    @robertlavers1121 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    All brands have their different strengths and weaknesses; although I now use Canon and Olympus mirrorless my Pentax system provided the best opportunities for creative photography. Never mind the flippy screen do any of the other oh-so-clever brands have inbuilt technology to compensate for the earth's rotation and so extend the exposure time of the night sky for sharp and detailed star shots? How many multiple shots can they combine - 10 or 12? the Pentax K1 can blend up to 2000 which can also be programmed for time-lapse (in pouring rain if necessary). These are just two examples where Pentax is and always has been designed for creative photographers rather than targeting "content creators".

    This was hilarious. Please tell me you didn't really ruin his camera. I almost cried seeing the look on his face. I'm sure you know that the Pentax K1000 was one of the most popular 35mm film cameras back in the day. We still have ours. Seems like Pentax got a little left behind in the digital camera arena. That articulating screen is cool. I've got news for you. Sony does have that articulating screen technology. They put them on their Handycam video cameras. I have one of those too. You would think the Handycam division would walk over to the camera division and say, put this screen on your cameras 😁 Thanks for another great video. I save yours for last so I can have a smile on my face. By the way, the sunset over the ocean looked pretty spectacular.

  • @rayspencer5025
    @rayspencer5025 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I was a Pentaxian long ago. My first SLR was Pentax H1a back in 1977. Since then I have owned Spotmatic F (first with a lightmeter in the camera), K1000 (absolute workhorse and indestructible), ME Super, ZX30, K10, K20D, K5iis. Unfortunately, Pentax was kind of late to the Digital scene, and they started scalling back on all their lens selection. This would not have been a issue if I only shot Lanscapes, which is not very equipment demanding. But I shoot Macro, Wildlife, and Architectural as well. So I needed lots of lenses. In 2015 I made the very painful decision to give-up on Pentax and go with Canon. One of the major reasons, in addition to lens selection, was that a flippy screen is incredibly useful for Macro and Architecture, and Pentax still did not have one.
    I still miss my old Pentax. I still have all of them and they all still work perfectly.

    • @xander1052

    Sony has the a7r5. So not sure what the complaint is here. It also has focus stacking and some other features you’d probably enjoy not available on the A1. I’ve got both and for your style you should be using the a7r5. On the other hand if I had the Hasselblad I’d probably use that for all my landscape work, flippy screen or not.
