    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.

    Leica M11 Monochrom Review: 60MP B&W at £8,300

    Amateur Photographer reviews the Leica M11 Monochrom — 60MP full-frame, black-and-white only, 256GB built-in storage, ISO 125–200,000, body-only at $10,160 / £8,300. Scores it well on resolution, interface speed and infrared use; flags limited viewfinder info, third-party lens friction, and harsh JPEG noise reduction.
