The potential for a DSLR revival could just be around the corner as some photographers seek more of a photographic experience over Mirrorless. John Riley compares the latter premium APS-C models released - Pentax K-3 III, Pentax K-3 II, Pentax K-3 and Pentax KP.
John Riley reviews Pentax's lowest priced DSLR model aimed at enthusiasts that's still in production. The KF might be Pentax's least equipped model, but with a 24mp sensor it's far from being a compromise in what really matters, image quality.
John Riley reviews the super versatile Pentax F 35-70mm zoom lens from the late 1980s. Easily purchased for very little expense, can this film zoom hold its own on digital sensors? John rigorously tests the lens to find out.
