Re: Pentax K3 III Monochrome Review

Their conclusion is that K-1, having a similar cost price as the K-3 III monochrome,  provides the same quality in monochrome mode. It would have been better to have a monochrome version of the K-1. Otherwise there are no important negative comments, except of course the absence of a flippy scre

He generally does fair reviews, but I can't take the time at work to watch it, though I can get away with occasionally checking email. Can you summarize? I'll guess: If you can afford $2200 for a body that you only use for monochrome, you get a stop better performance and better effective resol

Re: Pentax K3-iii Monochrome

One of the parks I used to frequent trying to photograph birds had a children's playground I had to walk past on my way down to the lakes. If I tried to photograph anything along the path I'd sometimes get "concerned parents" wanting to know what I was up to and was I photographing their kids?

Re: Pentax K3-iii Monochrome

I don't think it is firmware on this one, I think it comes down to the response of the silicon since it doesn't have a Bayer filter. You would have to choose a color filter when shooting, just as with black and white film. I could make all sorts of technical arguments against it, but it's really
