    I’m just discovering the Pentax cameras with the K- 5 11s and the 18-135mm lens there’s lots to enjoy so far. It’s nice to see more Pentax content and enjoy your variety of scenery, thanks for sharing. Liked and subscribed.

    Finally, someone shows themselves using the in-camera editing capabilities of Pentax cameras. Good luck doing that with a Sony menu system.

      Gack, YES!
      I've done Raw development on the K-01 to check a shot was where I wanted, then in to Lightroom for the final edit to match. Editing stills on Pentax is stupid easy!

    Selling in the UK for £1500 would love but no thanks at this price K3 111 and 16-50 £3,300 UK pounds this would buy U a very good full frame Kit ..

      The K3/M3 and the 16-50 in Australia at today's price (Dec 2023) will set you back 4K AUD which = 2113.24 Pounds. I have no idea why they are 'stroking you' another 1.2K for the same thing...

    Dank wederom Niels en Mike voor deze review!
    Speel al een tijdje met de gedachte de 18-135 mm te vervangen.
    Weten jullie of er ook een 50-135 mm met PLM op het programma staat?

    @danigonzalez4299 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thank you that's epic! I wish Pentax will do a 150-450mm Version II PLM or something a bit smaller like 100-300mm or so but with the PLM engine on.
    Now Niels and Mike I'd like to ask you about the speed of the AF. I mean, I'd like a quantification of HOW quick it is! I saw that the 55-300mm PLM is just a blink of the eye quick. I have had the 55-300mm lens, back in the day when it was DA AL version in 2011 and that was not a responsive lens.
    Why do I ask this? I am a Motorsport Photographer !! I need speed to capture speed!
    Thank you!

    So, the solution to take landscape without breaking our neck with the K3-III is using an external screen....

      Looks like it. Maybe they can do a Pentax branded version of a the Blackmagic Video Assist :)
      Assuming that is, that Pentax has fixed the HDMI to function properly, at the user chosen frame rate and frame size, with no overlays.

      That’s how Tony Northrup explains it, but that mostly applies to the depth of field. For exposure setting purposes, treat it just like it’s marked: f2.8.
