Too much money for me. Being an slr, its still going to have difficulty getting as good of focus as mirrorless, though I'm not ready to jump there yet. I can still focus using the live view magnified for landscapes or portraits, but it sure would be nice to be able to get a really accurate focus for more dynamic situations, my eyesight being what it is. I'll stick to my K1 and the APC pentaxes I have already. Anybody tested the new 77? --R On Wed, Mar 31, 2021 at 2:33 AM Henk Terhell <hterhell@chello.nl> wrote: > > https://www.dpreview.com/reviews/pentax-k-3-mark-iii-initial-review > Recommended price is $ 2000. > > Henk > -- > %(real_name)s Pentax-Discuss Mail List > To unsubscribe send an email to pdml-leave@pdml.net > to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions. -- "I think my ex-wife has weekly lessions with the Devil on how to be more evil.

The specification for the finder kind of looks to me like a K-3 finder with a built in O-ME53.  I expect it will actually be a bit better than that, but the O-ME53 does make quite a difference when manually focusing.
