Pentax K-1 full frame DSLR camera: price and kit lens info

By admin | Published: February 8, 2016

I received a tip that the European price of the upcoming Pentax K-1 full frame DSLR camera is confirmed at €1,999 (previous rumors indicated €1,999-2,299 price range). The price quoted is for the body-only SKU. The K-1 kit zoom will be sold with the 28-105mm f/3.5-5.6 lens. A new HD Pentax-D FA 15-30mm f/2.8 SDM (rebadged Tamron SP 15-30mm f/2.8 Di USD) will be announced at the same time, together with an updated roadmap. Stay tuned for more information.

28-105 f/3.5-5.6, eh? Hmm… not bad, could be better. But i’m sure it’ll be optically great, like the 16-85 f/3.5-5.6

  f/4 might have been better, but we don’t really care.
  We’re not getting the FF either of us right @Imp 😆

So Much Excitement!!! For me, i’m mainly excited about the lenses, not the body, but there’s something for everyone here! 😀

Gotta wonder if their marketing dept is a 1-man op. Worst product launch / teaser ever

Maybe I am missing something here. Pentax is about to introduce a New Full Frame 36.3mp Camera that would of been Great if it was June 12th 2012.

  You’re missing several things. Pentax users who may consider to upgrade (I know at least one), new comers without a huge engagement with a brand, old Pentaxians with large budget and wanting to try their old lens on this, 645Z shooters wanting something lighter (as its rumored to be able to use 645 lenses in a super resolution mode), product photographer and repro photographer as the pixel shift will make it the best camera on the market for this purpose.
  Still great in 2016 even if it would have been better in 2012 (but the price would not have been the same).

  Many Pentax users switched to full frame Sony mirrorless cameras in the last few years are not coming back. I use my Sony A7r for 36mp stills with my K mount lenses along with the new FE lenses. I also use my K mount lenses on my GH4 and NX1 for 4K video.

    Yet many Pentax users didn’t switch, nor do they care about those inadequate Sony cameras :-p

        I remember you trying to fill that Pentax Forum with Sony propaganda. And I guess you’re still upset that they’re a Pentax, not a Sony forum.
        
        I know it’s pointless but… please limit your Sony posts to the appropriate topics.

        Are you retarded like the other Pentax fanboys and mods on Pentax Forum ? That was on PentaxForums.com → Off-Topic Forums
        
        →
        
        Non-Pentax Cameras: Canon, Nikon, etc.

        No wonder they banned you.

        Great reply by a retarded Pentax Forum fanboy. Ban people for posting Sony info on the Non-Pentax Cameras forum.

        Adam posted more Sony stuff on Pentax Forum than I did but I see my post about that was deleted here by the same Pentax fanboys that run this site.

        Nio, your comments were deleted because you used offensive language, calling somebody a retard will not be tolerated here – you should know that by now. Your choice.
      - Joe
        
        Kunzite , get a clue, PentaxForums.com → Off-Topic Forums → Non-Pentax Cameras: Canon, Nikon, etc. is not for Pentax cameras.

        Why don’t you go annoy Samsung fanboys like normal people do?

Pentax gear to be announced alongside K-1:

– Pentax K-1
– Battery Grip D-BG6
– Pentax-D FA 28-105mm f/3.5-5.6 ED DC WR
– HD Pentax-D FA 15-30mm f/2.8 ED SDM WR

Source: Digital Camera Info http://digicame-info.com/2016/02/post-774.html

Interestingly enough, the 28-105mm is not ‘HD’ nor ‘smc’.

With its ‘SDM’, the 15-30mm f/2.8 is definitely a rebadged Tamron (but who doubted that?).
