ruslan Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 <p>Why are those clips for the belt?! <br />Why are that protection against scratches made by the metal hardware? <br />Why aren't they making it like with K-50, K-30 and top notch Canon EOS1 series?<br />I hate those clips.<br />If they make them why not provide them with plastic protective coverage installed in the factory like Olympus do?</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ruslan Posted January 18, 2015 Author Share Posted January 18, 2015 <p><strong>Harry,</strong> I am speaking about those triangle metal clips for neckstrap. Why are they using that method? Why not use it like it is done with K-50, or Canon EOS-1 series without those <em>ugly metal parts</em>? <br /><br />http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/K5/ZURTOP-S.JPG</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hjoseph7 Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 <p>The clips on my K-5 II have a leather cover for the straps.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ruslan Posted January 18, 2015 Author Share Posted January 18, 2015 <p>I think the ideal ergonomics would be like that<br />http://www.pentaxforums.com/content/uploads/files/1/791/back_sd_card_slot.jpg<br /><br />Why do not they make such method for K-5ii ot K-3? </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruslan Posted January 20, 2015 Author Share Posted January 20, 2015 <p>The socket (and the clip) with K-5 and K-3 sticks into the hand, near my index finger, it is so strange decision. </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewg_ny Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 <p>While it's not clear to me why Pentax has done this for flagship models (MZ-S had similar strap lugs), it doesn't cause me much trouble. The D-Rings can make noise, though the leather bits can quiet this. Maybe the D-Rings are considered more versatile? </p> <p>Not sure how you're holding it -- I think there's adequate clearance.</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
