Sometimes it feels like Pentax is a bit like King Canute, facing an unstoppable tide of mirrorless camera technology, but you have to admire the company’s determination in sticking with the DSLR.
Pentax still has lots of fans, and recently announced the K-III Mark III Monochrome black-and-white DSLR, taking a brave pop at a market dominated by Leica. It also announced the Film Camera Project.
