I have been a Pentax user for many years, 16 plus years ago i purchased my first DSLR, a Pentax K100D Super. Since then I have added a host of other Pentax cameras, my favorites are the Kp, k3 series, the K3 MKIII being my favorite one and the mack daddy, K1 MKII. It is a beast of a camera and as i got involved in event photography became my go to camera along with the k3 series. I photographed events with earlier Pentax cameras but with the k1 and a K3 as my second body i had more confidence in my camera and started doing more events. The k1 is an unusual camera and as a landscape camera and for events was a pleasure to use.
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 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?’
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.
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!

Excellent! I shoot Nature and do a lot of hiking with gear so, for that, i have Oly E-M1X... but i got a K-1 just to shoot my Takumars and other film K and M42 glass on... have no AF glass for it at all and it's great friends with my Spotmatic! Brilliant camera.
@@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.
K-1 II is a beast. This would be my ultimate camera. The One. Last for the lifetime. Anyhow, recently I shoot my old film SLR, half-frame Pentax 17 and 20 years old APS-C CCD. The least sophisticated cameras I have, inspire me the most... I'd be glad to shoot K-1 II with FA 43/1.9 Ltd - but just not today, surprisingly 🤔 However, happy shooting, Luigi! I'm sure, it was good choice 😄
Congrats, nice camera. I was testing it against other DSLRs and mirrorless after my K-3 Mk III broke and I was unable to get it repaired. I decided to get another K-3 cause I had APSC lenses, but K-1 was really cool camera.
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
Flashmeter is essential... but for me, and luckily we are all different individuals, EVF and flash photography simply sucks :) Probably 'cause I'm an old dinosaur and I do not even use smartphones...
Thanks - I agree with you - it is way too easy to touch come combinations of buttons on the new mirrorless cameras and change everything without knowing it. The last one I bout has a manual that is over 300 pages long. That is insane.
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!
I am a beginner in photography! I heard the advice that buying camera i are choosing the system. So i have decided to join pentax systems! I would to start with gr3x.
The story of the system is true and I'm glad you chose Pentax, but the Ricoh GR it's a system on its own. BTW, I never had the opportunity to try it but I hear is a wonderful compact camera.
That was really good food for thought Luigi. I also only recently came across that unexpected (but completely understandable) problem of the viewfinder in a mirrorless (a Fuji XE1 in my case) being really dark when set up for flash. And since I use manual focus lenses on that camera (another of your points) it's a real pain to get good focus when using the camera handheld in that setup. In contrast, using my Nikon D600 DSLR was just easy. I would love to own a K1 for numerous reasons but particularly to use my K-mount lenses (I've used a Pentax MX since 1994) at their native field of view. But I'll be honest: what I'd really like to see from Pentax is a new full-frame DSLR that's about 20% more compact. I know you can't get a DSLR (especially with a stabilised sensor) down to the size of the smallest film SLRs. But I'd like to see one that's not much bigger than a Nikon F80. With regard to manual lenses on Fuji: I'd urge you to try some of the cheap Chinese lenses. They're so cheap that you can afford to just try one out. I use the ttartisan 50mm f1.2 and the 17mm f1.4 and I find the experience deeply enjoyable - including very decent aperture rings that remind me of Olympus Zuiko lenses. And they're at least as sharp and contrasty as a lot of 1970s and 1980s lenses. Better in some respects.
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!
Great cameras that are increasingly appealing. Especially as the rest of the industry marches on into the faster more powerful future. They just bring you back to photography.
Good choice. Mine is still going strong since it was first released. Hasn't missed a beat. Recently compared the image quality in pixel shift with my Panasonic S5ii high resolution mode and the K1 is still noticeably better. It's also a better camera to use, comfortable to hold, very tough and with lots of features that I miss when I use other cameras. Which lenses do you use with it?
Yep, it's a great camera. I really like to use it. At the moment I use it with non FA lenses. A lot of them :) form the 20mm to the 200mm. I intend to get some new limited lenses in the future.
Think something is wrong with your x-pro 2 buttons since they are rock solid in same way as Pentax. A simple back up of settings and restore would work if you made one.By ten way Toy colors for jpegs is standard not matched to any button and stand by on x-pro activates camera only when shutter is activated.
Buttons and dials are pretty soft on the X-Pro2, I had to tape the exposure correction 'cause always change pulling the camera out of the bag. I used many fuji and always had the same problem, even with Sony. K1 dial are much harder. The Toy mode I have no idea how was turned on. I agree on the backup and reset, but it sucks when you are on assignment and have to do one. BTW, I really like the Xpro and I think is a fantastic camera. I just feel is not right for studio photography and my ideal Xpro is without any buttons, just iso aperture and shutter, raw files and not even an LCD screen... basically a film camera with a sensor instead the film and nothing more. What I love about the K1 is exactly the user modes and the big lock button to lock all the camera :D
My Pentax cameras i own and use starting with my Pentax Spotamatic SP2 film camera i just put new lights seals in . My Pentax CCD digital cameras *istDL, K100D I bought both nee and still use. My CMOS senser Pentax cameras K50, K3-11 & K3MARK111 The only camera I've had any problem with is the K50 Apature Block Failure & a K70 i jave my son after i had it repaired.
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.
Too bad its effectivelly dead system, despite Pentax marketing messages of ongoing support for DSLR. Their last lenses for fullframe reach back to release of K1, K1II is basically K1 with upgraded processor (they even offered a free change for K1 owners). And they dont even have support from notable 3rd party lens manufacturers that would support the Pentax system when Pentax doesnt (which is probably Pentax decision to not allow them on their system, simmilar to Fuji camera or Nikon and Canon fullframe mirrorless). I would really like to get into some DSLR FF system and waiting for anything interesting from Pentax for few years already, but currently the most 'alive and supported' option seems to be D850 despite being officially discontinued.
It doesn't seem dead to me lately. We just came out of period with new products and good news. The Pentax/Tamron collaboration seems good. There are 3rd part lensed adding support for K mount, as the Tilt/Shift from... I don't remember the name now... and Pentax had never been so alive. Honestly I prefer a brand creating good cameras lasting for a while than the usual trend to upgrade every year. I think Pentax is doing great to bring again the brand to life and the sales are pretty good. I'm optimist for the future of the brand.
@@LuigiBarbano I hope you are right. As I have said I would love to get into higher quality more modern fullframe DSLRs, but having not a very good eyesight I will keep my fully manual lenses on A7II with focus magnification and for DSLR I require also reliable autofocus and reliable and fast way of moving AF point around (joystick. Which K1II lacks). I am postponing that acquisition of FF DSLR for years now to see what Pentax will do. And its still nothing significant or assuring that they are sincere with their 'support for DSLR' messages. Re-releasing K3III second time, just without colour filters on subpixels doesnt count. Which is unfortunate, especially as Pentax have some very interesting and useful features on K1II that are either pentax-only or quite rare in other cameras (astro tracking with IBIS, the best LCD screen movement, built-in GPS), but otherwise unfortunately its lacking behind discontinued DSLR competition in tech, ergonomics, lenses and availability on secondary market.
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 :)
