You must keep the peace with the minister of war and finance, as it is the key to personal happiness.

In the meantime you can tone up by lifting the 15-30; 5 sets of 10 reps should just about do you.

Camera has not arrived as yet. When I ordered the camera the CR Kennedy site said it would be available on the 28/12/2018. The site now says out of stock, on order. Goodness knows when I will receive it. Is there a problem with the production of K1 Mk 11?

Same with my DFA* 50 f/1.4. I checked with them on the 28th and they said: The current status of “NO STOCK (ON ORDER)” is due to either the stock is currently being receipted into our warehouse, or that stock has not arrived as scheduled & we are awaiting a revised delivery date. As this product was air freighted to us, any delay in delivery would most likely be due to a delay in customs releasing the shipment.

Now both the DFA* 50 and the K1 Mk II are showing as "Out of stock". The "On order" has disappeared. So now we not only have no equipment, we also have no hope.

The 15-30 will of course mount on a Pentax APS-C camera while you're waiting.

The DFA* 50 is suddenly showing "In Stock". Hope returns.

I have a 10-20mm crop sensor Sigma Lens for my K5. Equivalent to the 15-30mm full frame lens.

Great news,received an email from CR Kennedy yesterday. The K1 Mk11 is back in stock and I should receive the camera early next week.
Their site says that they are in stock.

It's not so much a learning CURVE as it is a sequence of disjointed segments. I have the original K1 (the upgrade wasn't worth $700 to me), and I can tell you that you will really love the camera. The image quality is jaw-dropping (with a good lens).
