Lots of threads and posts have been made on how some aspect of the K-1 isn't good enough, well this thread is about saying out loud for all to hear that, in your world, "it's me letting the K-1 down for the most part"
Go on..... you know it's true!
Exactly that! The K-1 is so advanced and demanding in many photographic ways and moreover is packed with various features that offer so many opportunities to try new photographic sectors! Thank God though it has 2 important qualities: 1. She also features the well known Pentax ergonomics that are very user friendly even for non Pentaxians!
2. She is not an intimidating camera, on the contrary she provokes her user to get involved with new photographic areas and technics and evolve his skills.
I'm using my K-1 for about a year now and I've seen that it acts like a magnifying glass! My mistakes are more evident with the K-1, but OTOH when I manage to take a picture right, the results are always impressive! I can't exactly describe what I'm seeing-feeling but I'm still amazed how close to reality the K-1 pictures are...
As @wissink and @monochrome correctly put it, K-1 sets the bar way too high, but is user friendly and ask you to follow if you can...
