Thanks to the Italian importer of Pentax, FOWA, I had the Pentax K3 Monochrome and a K3 MkIII to test.

For now I just did a first walk with the camera, at night in the city of Cuneo and a little comparison test in studio.

Here, in the video you can hear what I think about the camera, if you like to see the pictures I took in the studio to have a first comparison of the K3 Monochrome and the K3 MkIII Color and download the raw files, just scroll to the end of the article and you will find the link.

The results are really impressive. The lack of noise also at higher ISO, the dynamic range and the general quality of the images are absolutely fantastic!

Here the 100% zoom.

If you want to download the original RAW files and play with them, use the following links. Please consider to use the Donate button so I can cover the increase of expenses for the server space and bandwidth.
