Originally posted by Gimbal I'm not convinced yet that there are any K-1 that does not look like this at 30sec and iso 6400.
Me too, actually.
So, than it is "normal" phenotype, not that just few bodies are "problematic".
Looks like situation is common thus I will keep my K-1 and wait if there will be any fix from Ricoh.
I started this thread because I did some star trails with long exposure noise reduction off and results were quite bad.
Just wanted to know how many cameras behave the same way as mine.

Yes, I agree that most probably I will use such setting not so often. I do IR sometimes (with on lens filters) and night photography, so these might be the cases. For birds (that I do most often) this is not a problem.
And it looks like there might be fix already as stated in another thread. So, I will talk to my dealer on Monday and will ask him to contact Ricoh Germany. Also planning to ask about this situation on Photokina.
Thank you very much everyone for participating in this discussion and helping me to figure out what to do.
You are really great community and I enjoy being a part of it.
Best regards,
