Pentax news roundup

Pentax K5

Veyr detailed, very long but also very korean ;) Review at SLRclub. Why “korean”? Because they are used to post articles as jpeg images! So google translation won’t work. There is also a new review at Colorfoto.de. That time with google translation! Full test charts are available for download at Magnus.de.

Pentax 645D

Image test at Focus Numerique. A few image samples have been posted by reality Scanner on Flickr.

No more Cosina/Voigtländer lenses for Pentax :(

After Zeiss also Voigtländer-Cosina announced that they will not make K-mount lenses anymore. That’s bad news! I liked the lenses a lot because of the very compact size and good build-quality. Here is the list of Lenses that will soon run out of Stock (with link to Amazon):
- Voigtlander Nokton 58mm f/1.4 SL-II
- Voigtlander Color Skopar 20mm f/3.5 SL-II
- Voigtlander Ultron 40mm f/2 SL-II

New K-rumors website! Now Pentax only!

Dear readers!

It was about time for a small revolution! We long discussed about the future of K-rumors. We needed to make that website attractive with a better design and more content. We also thought that it doesn’t make any sense anymore to talk about Pentax and Samsung cameras on k-rumors simply because they are not sharing the same K-mount anymore!

That’s why starting from today we will post Pentax news only. We also created X-rumors.com for Samsung.

We are now currently fixing many thing on that website. We hope you will enjoy the new website and we hope to have some nice rumor soon…

Bye!
