Mirrorless System Pentax Camera

[72 mm (Front)] To preface this story, this is my first DSLR and my first Pentax. Before this I had owned two mirrorless cameras.  First I started with a Lumix S1 but was looking to upgrade and convinced myself to sell everything to buy into the Fuji GFX system. To my (and many others) surprise I was dissatisfied with not only the build quality of the 50sii but the images I was creating with it. Something just didn't look right. I couldn't place my finger on it but things looked... sterile?  I thought a digital medium format sensor was the answer to replicating my medium format film cameras but alas, this was not the case. I wanted to capture a black and white film look with a digital camera but couldn't afford a Leica monochrome. It was a risky move on my part but I sold my GFX after doing a lot of research into the K3iii monochrome. The first day I took it out I knew I had made the right choice. Images from this camera are pure magic and have tricked many people around me thinking it was film. Match this sensor with a M42 adapter and throw some Super-Takumar, it looks identical to B&W film. Love shooting this thing at night at ridiculously high ISO levels. The build quality is like a tank. View finder is bright and easy to focus. Speaking of focusing, the auto focus is faster than some of the mirrorless cameras Ive used. I don't ever want to go back to mirrorless after using this gem, there's nothing like framing your image through the lens. My only complaint is it takes a second to get used to exposing correctly. You need to be very mindful of blown out highlights. Images match that of any full frame camera I've ever used. I love this thing so much I can only hope Pentax will release a full frame monochrome camera in the future to compete with Leica. Anyway, if you love B&W photography then this is the camera for you.

[Aluminum] I purchase a used Pentax Spotmatic film camera recently with a couple of lenses. This adapter allows me to use the Pentax lenses on my Fujifilm mirrorless cameras. It works perfectly, is well made and lightweight. If you are looking to adapt vintage lenses to your current system this is an excellent solution.

[2.45 lb] Just good for a medium mirrorless system.

[0.55 lb] We typically travel with a DSLR, a mirrorless 4K video camera, and one or two snapshot-type fixed lens cameras. Naturally, all take different batteries. With the Watson system (and it is a system) we only need one charger body (multi-voltage for international travel) and a small, thin adapter plate for each battery. Really cuts down on what you need to carry.

[Canon RF] If you have old -now called V system- Hasselblad/Zeiss lenses around this little gadget will allow you to use them on your mirrorless camera. You will have to use manual focus and there won't be any stabilization but other than that, they will work well.

[0.7 lb] This hardware is just what I needed to attach my DSLR camera body to my dual SpiderPro system for mirrorless (I have one of each).

[Aluminum] I recently purchase an Olympus mirrorless camera and several lens. I am extremely pleased with pictures made with this system. It is much lighter than my Canon. This lens worked very well for my needs.

[0.6 lb] This is an excellent bag for a mirrorless system. Can hold two small cameras with lenses or one camera and a little bit of extra stuff. Well made, tough, just the right balance between flexibility and stiffness of material. I might have worried about the zipper scratching the camera when taking it out or storing it, but the zipper seems to be plastic coated so it's not really an issue.Frankly, I don't think it's fair for reviewers to lower their rating because they found a bag too big or too small. It is what it is. If you find it too big or to small, you bought the wrong bag, it's not the bag's fault!

[Full-Frame] All I ever wanted in a Mirrorless Camera.

[1-1/4" / 32 mm] Durable retention system for DSLR and mirrorless cameras.
