The Pentax K-3 Mark III Monochrome is one of the most surprising camera releases in recent memory. As a brand that’s already in rare air with its dedication to the DSLR, the choice to further isolate Pentax with a black-and-white-only DSLR is definitely intriguing―but also incredibly fun and refreshing.

Creative, distinct, and blur would be the three words I’d pick to sum up Lensbaby’s latest lens, the Sweet 22.
