Newly hatched pentaxian from Denmark

HDpotato · 04-28-2020, 04:50 AM - **2 Likes**

Hi,

After shooting Konika-Minolta, Nikon and for the past 1½ years, Fuji, I finally made the switch to Pentax. Have had an eye on the K-1 for quite a while, at the same time I switched to Fuji, actually.

Got a good deal on a K-1 mkII, 24-70 2.8, 50mm 1.8 DA and a Samyang 85mm 1.4.

Have had it a few days now and I absolutely love it. I really liked shooting fuji, it's very intuitive, but I missed that DSLR-feel with a proper grip etc.

Hei hei from Germany. Me too. I started with Fuji and then found Pentax later and now I use it most of the time. I think the K1 is superb. Enjoy.

I also have the Pentax K-1 II. It is amazing.
