The Last APS-C DSLR Is Winding Down. What It Means.

The Pentax K-3 Mark III is gone from Japanese shelves, and the Monochrome variant is quietly draining from B&H stock. No dramatic announcement, no send-off. Just the last serious APS-C DSLR from any major manufacturer slipping out the door. If you still shoot Pentax, now is the time to buy a backup body, not after the last unit ships. If you don't, this is a genuine industry moment worth marking: the DSLR era didn't end with a Canon or Nikon fanfare, it ended with a niche Japanese manufacturer quietly clearing inventory.
