Hands-on review: the rugged and competent Pentax KF

By admin | Published: February 2, 2023


Explora published their Pentax KF DSLR camera hands-on review:

“I had fun shooting the Pentax KF. It produced good images in the rain and in the cold and in low light. It felt good in the hand and was easy to use. It even sparked a twinge of nostalgia for my first days as a serious photographer. While it may not be a camera I’d pick up often, I’m sure there are others who would be perfectly happy with the KF. Legacy Pentax users, for example, or those with a large collection of K-mount glass who don’t need newer, more advanced features should find the Pentax KF a good fit for their needs.”
