Pentax K-1 Full-Size Sample Photos
Daytime samples with five lenses
By PF Staff in Hands-On Tests on May 7, 2016

Pixel-peepers rejoice: our first batch of sample photos from the Pentax K-1 is now available.
All photos below include links to DNG raw files as well as out-of-camera JPEGs. The photos were taken hand-held with default JPEG settings, no pixel shift, and no AA filter simulator. Two separate cameras were used along with five different lenses. We enabled lens corrections for the D FA lenses.
The full-size JPEGs from the 150-450mm have received minor edits while the remaining full-size are untouched.
