Don't overlook the fact that the DA*55/1.4 is also really a FF lens.

I too owned an LX with a motor drive (MX too) and a sports finder. The best camera I ever owned!

I've been thinking of selling one of my D800E bodies lately (got two and a D810), and the K-1 will...

That's great. Thanks. :)

Some Pentax lenses are branded as DA when they are still Full Frame designs:

The DA* 200/2.8 is a FF lens. It is a redesigned FA 200/2.8.
The DA*300/4 and DA*55/1.4 are both also FF lenses.

I'm...

I hate to be pedantic (no I don't) but the twenty first century didn't start until 2001. The year 2000 is the final year of the twentieth century.

It goes like this: 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10

Not like...

@PKDanny At this price would that be the camera they pay you for?

With longer lenses my D810/800E can be very difficult to use when I need to access buttons on the left side of the camera. These issues don't exist for my K-5.

I'm really looking forward to...

Thanks, but I've had them for years and it's not really the case that WB fixes it.
I do accept that the coatings on the Sigma lenses I use (35/art, 50/art, 120-300/sports, 150-600/sports) might be...

Don't forget the magnets in the SR system.

It's way smaller than my D810.

But the lenses will be lighter/sharper due to no VR system within.

The K-1 weighs...

Hi Matthew, thanks for your comment.

Correction: I meant to say that I have a D810 in my original post.

This K-1 would go very well with my FA31, FA77, DA55 and DA200. All that's left of my once...

I've got a D180, 2x D800e, a K-5 and a K-01.

I've been thinking about selling a few cameras and this K-1 may just be the tipping point. I really want an astro camera and I absolutely hate the pink...

The DA 55 f1.4 is in fact a full frame lens. I'm always shocked at its resolution on my K-5 at f/2 and I have the latest Sigma 50/1.4 'Art' on my D810.

I've got 2x D800E, 1x D810, 1x K5 & 1x K-01 and I can assure you that amp glow in low light is my biggest issue with the Nikons. It's totally invisible on my Pentax cameras, but easily produced...

Images are visual communications that should be read - too many people here are making comments that reveal they assume the work is meant to grab them, rather than the other way around. To those...

It's a brilliant image, an amazing composition that defines alienation and self absorption. The dividing line (background line on the wall) separates the imagination (of the girls) from the earthly...

The image is of The Lagoon Nebula in Sagittarius. It's usually shown as red but here they appear to be trying to make it look like a human eye would see it through a large telescope.

I own the Tamron 24-70 for my D810. I tested it against the older Nikon 24-70, which it beat easily, so I wouldn't agree that the new lens won't come up to scratch. With Pentax coatings this lens...

The image is not a snapshot as the photographer was in control of the entire shoot and used his available tools to perfection.

"Just a guy with a camera" doesn't cover it and is an insult to...

I bought a lens from dcxpert once and it was delivered directly from CRK.

Dcxpert is CR Kennedy. If you save them as a favourite seller on eBay it says "CR Kennedy" in the listing.
