Photographing a sunset or a sunrise sounds like a pretty easy thing to do, but if you ask any serious landscape photographer, they’ll tell you that having a good camera can be a huge help.

Sigma has decided to halt its production of Pentax K mount compatible lenses to focus on newer mirrorless offerings.
The K1 has a better sensor than anything Canon has out, so who’s interested?
Pentax, the often overlooked and unsung performer of the photographic world has released an updated roadmap promising a mix of new primes and zooms.
