Flash sync time of 1/250th?

Looks about the same as the K-1.

I don't mean the screen itself, I mean one of the data.

That f/1.4 in M Mode looks pretty tasty at ISO 400 and 1/250. I wonder what FL the attached lens is?

(~~No way it could be a manual lens with on-body aperture control. Just. No. Way.~~)

It isn’t. But it’s good, nonetheless.

50mm I would say...

Boring. Where's the 85?

So they have the new 50mm or the old 50mm attached. OK

if they actually improved the flash sync speed that would be a boon to studio photographers and would mean an improved shutter mechanism....which might mean a faster FPS or other goodies. of course it could also be fooling us.

Oddly enough, you didn't quote the possibility of the K-1 II being showcased with the first new lens resulting from the partnership between KMZ and Ricoh. I wonder why...

Yet ePHOTOzine gave us a hint as early as December 2016:

I would suggest your having a second look. The lens above is definitely not the HD Pentax-DA 20-40mm f/2.8-4 Limited. Actually, it's an 85mm ~~f/1.5~~ f/2.

The original image doesn't, he has just altered it to show that the number doesn't signify huge changes in design/spec.

Flash sync improvement is a bonus.
If it is the new lens, even better!

With what is already rumoured about the K-1 II, it looks like we'll have a useful upgrade to tide us over while the next generation full frame is developed.

Given that nobody expected a new model for at least another year or so, feeling short-changed seems a bit disingenuous
