What led you to switch from Canon?

What led you to switch from Canon?
I was wanting to upgrade from my 60D to a full-frame and I looked at a 6D. Looked at Nikon 850 and Sony AR as well. As my research progressed, the K1 kept popping up in discussions and the more I read the more I liked. I've had several Pentax before and worked at a camera store that sold the 645. Adorama had a K1mii in the used section, so the body cost me almost 1/3 of the price of the other brands. Although the lens selection is limited, the price of the lenses are generally cheaper (plus being able to use almost any Pentax lens ever made). I've been very happy with the camera so far and have picked up a few inexpensive prime lenses in addition to the 28-105f that I bought with the camera.

Welcome Billy. I think you came to the right place - I joined after getting my K-1 and never regretted it (either choice) Enjoy!
