The K1, both versions, are excellent cameras.

We are not worthy?

Regards, C.

I think anyone who uses it is worthy.

Isn’t there an ISO standard for worthiness?

You are mistaken sir. It is me that will be lucky third time!

I've realised that unless I spend a stupid amount of time posting I'm not going to make the cut,but I'm happy to help push the total towards the magic number!

Would you be thinking of the gold standard?

I don't even really want a K-1, but now that I'm automatically entered I'll keep posting to get us over the line.

I'm sure you'll find plenty of people willing to take it off your hands if you win!

Don't say that too loudly: in the current world climate, there'd be someone desperate enough to suggest going back there!

I am in the camp that is interested but not enough to find a way to finance it. If I win one I will try to explore it to the potential it offers and see how it fits. It would be very helpful in that way. I'm sure that sounds heretical to some.

I'd love one. But the camera budget is severely curtailed by the need for a bicycle budget which is itself severely curtailed by the fact that we have two teenagers, one of which is eating us out of house and home. The other is at uni, which comes with it's own special spending awards.
