Some Pentaxians may be frustrated that their company does not produce FF mirrorless cameras. This might ease their pain: Fiveskin has produced this skin for the Sony A7IV camera with the “Asahi Pentax” logo. This is the closest you will ever get to a Pentax FF mirrorless :)

A SAR reader sent me this picture of Biden’s last speech. He noticed that there were only Sony cameras in the room: Sony A1, A9, FX3 and FX9! Let me know in the comments system if you can describe the exact cameras and lenses I circled in this cropped section. Let’s see whom of you can find them all ;)
