c230k Posted May 31, 2015 Author #76 Share Posted May 31, 2015 I've swapped systems a few times myself...but currently my setup is: Cameras: Olympus OM-D E-M1 Olympus OM-D E-M10 Lenses: Samyang 7.5mm f/3.5 Olympus 12-40mm f/2.8 PRO Olympus 50-200mm f/2.8-3.5 (used with Olympus MMF3 adapter) My wife and I are planning a big vacation in 2017 (possibly the Galapagos or Baltic Sea Cruise) and I'm thinking of switching to full frame...possibly the Sony A7 series (I'm a big fan of mirrorless systems). Was up early this morning and found a GREAT deal on the Sony A7R Full Frame Mirrorless Camera. Would you believe $199.00 regular $2199.00 from the Sony Store on the internet. Think will try it out and then sell and take my profit, do not want to have to buy all new lenses. Tom :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom :cool: Obviously a type-o on their website...because as of 2pm EST the A7R isn't listed on their site at the moment. If you scored one for a mere $200...I'll be happy to double your money and take it off your hands :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catocop Posted June 16, 2015 #79 Share Posted June 16, 2015 Pentax K-500, formerly K-1. Husband (who doesn't frequent this forum) has several Pentax bodies including the K-3 (and he's saving for a full frame). I use his lenses, and a 40mm pancake lens. Oh, and I have a zoom but I don't remember the specs. So if you have beginner or advanced Pentax questions, send me a message. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R. Wethereyet Posted July 8, 2015 #86 Share Posted July 8, 2015 (edited) Pierces - looks like you have lightened your load substantially from your 2012 post on this thread!! Nice set up :-D I am an Pentaxian from way back! Currently: Pentax K-5 - Twin to the K-7 with an updated computer inside Pentax K-7 - Rock solid ... noisy in low light Samsung Alpha ... actually my cell but with 16MP it takes some great shots! and the best camera is the one you have with you ;-) Lenses: Sigma 10-20mm - so happy I got this, Awesome landscape lens! Pentax 24-90mm - last Pentax lens made for film - works great on a DSLR! Pentax 50mm - almost as good as the old manual version below Tamron 28-300mm - great all purpose lens Sigma 70-300 mm - prefer the Tamron Old Stuff Pentax ME - cut lawns to buy this when I was a teenager Pentax P5 - 1 step below the LX which was their pro-level for a long time Pentax 50mm 1.7 manual - LOVE this lens for color and sharpness Branded 70-200 1 touch - cool lens-your hand never leaves the lens while zooming/focusing Other stuff LowePro Slingback 200 - compact & easy to carry and fits under the seat on the plane Some Circular Polarizer filters and some old Cokin filters Velbron Carbon Fiber tripod Mono Pod 5 in 1 folding reflector Flash unit Software Picassa - used for many years - still do sometimes Lightroom 6 - finally grew to enjoy using this program Perfect Suite - product that ties into Lightroom - more flexible than lightroom and easier than Photoshop for MAJOR post processing.

Nice collection. I never had the K-7, passed over it, went from *ist-D to K-10 to K-20 to K-5 to K-5ii to K-3. Currently have one K-3, one 645z, one WG-III. Plus an assortment of lenses of course - all Pentax. Note that with the K-3ii now out there, the K-3 is being discounted by B&H and others. Currently about $750. The AF and low-light capability of the K-3 is lightyears beyond your K-7 or even the K-5. Just something to think about...;) Stan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GottaKnowWhen Posted July 9, 2015 #91 Share Posted July 9, 2015 I don't know the "z". Sorry - the 645Z is Pentax's 2nd MF digital. First was the 645D 3-4 (?) years ago; the 645Z was introduced a year ago. The firmware is pretty much a clone of what they have in the K-3 APS-C body (modified of course for the larger sensor and larger files.) And the 645Z nee K-3 firmware is superb, squeezes tremendous dynamic range out of a scene, fast autofocus, etc. Well, not "fast" relative to some cameras specialized for high-speed sports, but fast enough. Max ISO is 204,800, definitely usable up to 51,200. A dream camera. Maybe not a practical camera in terms of size, weight, cost and all those other niggling practical considerations, but every silver lining has some black clouds hovering nearby.
