Hello!

Welcome to the forums!

The listed kit sells, new, for about 2350 + 1400 + 600$.

All in CAD. Plus taxes.

The price is hard to evaluate without seeing the equipment but I'd say remove the taxes and take at least 30% off the price, if everything is in excellent shape.

Welcome to the forum. I did brief search through the market place and can't find evening of the items you've listed. Maybe some one who's done more shopping recently can help.

That's a loaded question. The difference is not huge, but the K-1 II offers slightly more reliable AF in tracking mode, different noise handling (I say it's better, some disagree. It's more present that's for sure). A few other features such as hand-held Pixel Shift also are new on the K-1 II.

If you got a good offer, I wouldn't hesitate to go for the K-1.

Thank you Bdery,
I have two options 1) K1 with 24-70 2,8 and 100 2,8 micro 2) K1 II with old 50mm 1.2 and DA 15mm F4 , the price is about $400 less for K1 II , which is better , Thank you so much and sorry to bother you again.

That's a hard question to answer. It depends on what you want to do. The 15mm is not a full frame compatible lens, so you'll only use the center of the frame (the camera will handle that for you). the F1.2 lens will be superb, but manual focus (are you sure it's not a 1:2, or in other words F2, lens?)

The K-1 with 24-70 and 100 macro (is that the WR version?) is fully AF and offers more modern glass. The 400$ difference seems like a good deal I'd say compared to the other one. The 15 and F1.2 lens are probably worth about the less than the 24-70, so you're paying 400$ for the macro and part of the 24-70, minus the difference in value between the K-1 and K-1 II.
