Pentax Giveaway "What will you do if you win?"

alvaro_garcia · 09-01-2018, 03:34 AM

I'd keep it and use it of course!

takis63 · 09-01-2018, 06:21 AM

Keep it and use it. And i would also keep my trusty K-3ii which i love!

I could run it as my primary camera, and the K1 as a secondary, and then the K3 as the tertiary one. Imagine a roadtrip with the K1ii with my 24-70, then the K1 with my 70-200, and then the K3 with my DFA150-450 and possibly 1.4 on.

Ohh, and of course it would get plenty of astro time in.

I put a clamp on my weight bar and a nice little ball mount so I can put a camera there and do wide field shots while the big one is tracking. I like the little planetary cam for remote piloting and autoguiding, and made an adapter that lets me use the unused 9x50 inline finder that came with my scope by whittling down a 2inch to m42 ring adapter with 2inch thread issues. Really happy with that one

The k1ii I'm hoping to win would work well for wider fov shots as the main camera as well as close the door on years of K-50 strife and yoga at the mount.

Good idea. I've always had several bodies with different lenses attached.

Die from shock.

If I win the K-1, I would definitely keep it. I've wanted one since they hit the market, but because I'm retired on a fixed income, I haven't been able to get the money to buy one. So, I keep working with my Pentax K-50 (which I love), but wish for the full frame K-1 or the K-1 mark ii.

Keep it, use it, and look for a good neck strap.

Ronald Oakes · 09-01-2018, 10:09 PM

Do some swapping and selling and get Bertwert a "Right Proper" camera setup !

Valojuova · 09-01-2018, 11:02 PM

I would gather all my money and try to buy a decent lense for it

My poor little K-01 quivers in fear of these giants.

My K-01 still gets plenty of work! It's over 30k shutter count now.
