Naturally it\u00a0will feature the Pentax K mount, making it compatible with a huge range of\u00a0lenses.\u00a0It\u00a0will also work with DA-series lenses designed for APS-C SLRs, using a 1.5x crop mode.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond this, Ricoh has\u00a0released precious little further information about the new camera. A\u00a0single product shot suggests that it could\u00a0be relatively small for a full frame DSLR, and have a pronounced pentaprism reminiscent of classic manual focus 35mm SLRs.<\/p>\n<p>Ricoh says the exterior design is &#8216;yet to be finalised&#8217;, but a number of familiar Pentax design motifs appear to be\u00a0present, including a locking exposure mode dial\u00a0and a\u00a0focus mode switch on the lens throat.\u00a0<span style=\"line-height: 1.6\">An\u00a0electronic control dial is placed on the handgrip in front of the shutter button, which itself is surrounded by the on\/off switch. There appears to be a receiver for an infrared remote control, and a PC socket for studio flash units on the side of the pentaprism. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"line-height: 1.6\">It&#8217;s worth noting that relatively few current Pentax lenses are designated as being full frame compatible &#8216;FA&#8217; models.\u00a0These include\u00a0three premium Limited series primes (31mm f\/1.8, 43mm f\/1.7, and 77mm f\/1.8); two Macro primes (50mm f\/2.8 and 100m f\/2.8); and <a href=\"\/\/www.amateurphotographer.co.uk\/latest\/photo-news\/ricoh-announce\u20260-450mm-lenses-43394\" target=\"_blank\">the two large telephoto zooms Ricoh has announced at the same time as this SLR<\/a>\u00a0 (which have been confirmed as being a 70-200mm f\/2.8 and a 150-450mm f\/4.5-5.6). \u00a0So we&#8217;d expect Ricoh to have a few more in preparation to be ready alongside the camera, including such staples as a 24-70mm f\/2.8 zoom.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re at CP+ in Yokohama from 12th-15th February 2015, you&#8217;ll be able to see the camera for yourself on Ricoh&#8217;s stand (doubtless kept securely under glass).\u00a0We&#8217;ll be keeping an eye out for any further information on this exciting development for Pentax users.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ricoh has announced that it&#8217;s developing a Pentax full frame SLR, due on sale at the end of 2015<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":362,"featured_media":43389,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[39],"tags":[],"product-category":[],"class_list":["post-43387","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-photo-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.8 (Yoast SEO v26.8) -
