That google translate piece is one of the best ever!

Personally, I believe the reports of smoothing are way over blown.

If I was in the market for a new camera, I would buy the K-1 mkII. It's the latest tech, and claims of image smoothing are both mixed and insignificant. I know there's folks who are messing their drawers, but it's all really quite "ho hum".

Is this a KAF4 lens?

CRK in Australia normally have 2 or 3 sales per year, and they are 15% off everything, so I can wait. Their eBay arm dcxpert have 20%-off sales, but only "stock" a limited subset of lenses. I have done well from these in the past by being patient.

To be honest, I already have a lens to cover just about any situation I'm likely to encounter, so I can afford to be very very patient.
