OK ... I'm not trying to start or continue a fight. I'm not advocating for anything. I simply feel I should expand on my comment previously

Currently I am using a K-30 which I purchased 26 months ago. Regardless of whether my K-30 comes down with the aperture ailment, I will be trying to fit a K-70 into our budget, primarily for the improved ISO performance. Looking back over the past few years, I have taken a lot of pictures in darkish conditions, such as in back corners of museums. Even if the K-70 gives me much better performance there, I will still have the framing problems I have today, even today I take pictures I cannot see through my OVF; I don't lug a tripod around with me, so I have to frame these pictures holding the camera out zombie-style so I can use LV to frame the picture. For that use in particular, my personal opinion is that a K-07 {K-70 mechanism in a K-01 body} would be vastly superior to anything else available to me.
And, yes, I could use the Hoodman from my Q-7 kit, but I would still be holding the K-70 in an awkward position.
And, yes, I could use the Q-7, but high ISO is definitely not its area of strength.
