Ha - good one! B&H keeps tells me:

You still have 4 days to add a protection plan to your order.

Drop it? Spill on it? Step on it? Drive the car over it? No worries, you're covered.

This is for the Rokinon 14mm f/2.4 that is not expected to ship until late March...

819k ISO. Oh okay! Marketing nonsense

Apparently the foul stank of overselling superhigh but unusable ISO limits (D5 and D500 -- I'm looking at you) is here to stay.

Sad to see. It's like seeing an economy car with 4 cylinder 100 HP car come with a speedometer that goes up to 200 mph. ;D

Oh wow! The second pic looks like someone had some sort of diarrhea? Poor camera.

Adorama has a good little movie about this camera. Sample images look nice.

In 2017, Pentax announced it was doubling its advertising budget to an all time high of $5.00 per year.

good god what a terrible idea to shoot them with "artfully" placed mud on a white background. this would have looked a hundred times better if they just had the thing sitting in the mud outside
