We will wait for the pictures made with new camera. Could you post it here in high ISO (3200-102400) or share a link to raw files?

I will post a few high ISO raw's in a pub stop on the way home. Brought the FA31, FA77, and K18 with me to try out.

Oh now stop!

I've just spunked a load of money up on the K-1, and now you have to go show me pictures of the 15-30!

Couldn't you have started off with an M50 f2 or something?

😃 Sorry, well... not that sorry. 15-30 is a beautiful lens, veeeeery sharp wide open (for the moment I checked only the center of the image, but OMG!!!) but a bit bigger than I imagined, though it enters in my bag without any problem. love it already.
I haven't tried all my lenses yet, but what is disappointing I cannot mount my Helios 40, the 85/1.5 portrait lens. The base of the lens is too large and collides with the camera body under the "what-would-be-oncamera-flash". Pity, will have put that lens on diet 😅...

haha! well, I noticed you taking some pictures with the FA43. That's one lens that really surprised me on the K-1. Simply stunning! I was hoping the K18 would be able to stave off my lust for the 15-30. It hasn't, but it will have to do for now (I've got about 30 lenses, and need to get that down to 5 or 6 in the next 4 weeks, it's not going to be easy!). The DFA 100 WR has really impressed me though. Its gone from being a nightmare macro hunty lens of doom, and transformed itself into something amazing. That, the DA*300, and the FA43, might well have become my new favourite 3 lens kit.

What version of Helios 40 do you have? Old or new (40-2)? I cheched today my 40-2 on K-5II. It seems that no problems would occur mounting it on K-1 according to dimensions of the back. But problems will actually occur with the Sigma art 18-35 if you will try to mount this crop lens on K-1.
Will see...

43 I haven't tried yet, I expect it to perform well. It did great on film. Yes, the nightmare macro hunty lens of doom exactly my feelings. Glad you say it is great on K1. Have to try it too. It is a great lens, very sharp with nice bokeh.
And congrats to K1! 😄

I have the newer version 2. When I tried to mount it on K 1 I thought the K1 won't take the ring, then I tried to mount other lenses with rings without any problem. And there I noticed Helios 40-2 is just too fat at the bottom it misses only like half of mm to be mouted.
I don't know about sigma, I don't own that lens. Hopefully you'll find some solution that would work for you.
