Ventzislav made an error in his lens assessment and very graciously acknowledged it.
Despite the very poor translation from Bulgarian into English his overall review of the K-1 was very, very encouraging. I found it most informative, and mercifully free from unnecessary technical baggage. It has converted me from only half-heartedly taking an interest in the K-1 into being much more serious a a potential buyer. I don't even have a digital SLR so I would be leap-frogging the smaller format straight into full-frame.
For anyone who has not visited Ventzislav's website I suggest that you do so. His portfolio, in my opinion, is truly outstanding.
Yeah, it helps. I've even got all the old Pentax gear out of storage. Forgot how well made and lovely to shoot this stuff is. Got a K-3 and grip on the desk, FA43 mounted, trying to remember how to use it (been shooting Sony for the past 18 months).
If the K-1 and D-FA 70-200/2.8 proves capable to shoot action in fair light then it's a goer.
