Hello everyone.
I will in a couple of days pick up my new K-1 II with a PENTAX-D FA 24-70mm and I look forward to starting to learn how to use it.
I have used the Nikon D-90 in recent years and it was a long decision before I decided to switch to Pentax.
Nevertheless, I am really looking forward to getting my hands on this camera.
Hope and believe that this will be a long "friendship"
Regards
Tore

Welcome to the forum.

I visited Norway a few years ago and loved it, such a beautiful country. If you like landscapes then the K-1 should suit you very well.

Amos Thunder · 12-18-2020, 08:02 AM

Landscape photography is what I like best and that was one of the reasons why I chose K1.
Another reason was built-in GPS and Pixel shift with the benefits it brings ......
That I have a friend who is a "hard core" Pentaxian, probably had a bit to say too :-)

Best reg

Welcome to the forum, good to see more northern people here. :-)
The K1-II really excells in low light. This time of the year we have a lot of that...

Welcome to Pentax Forums. I have the K-1 II on my Pentax 70-200 and it is amazing. The images it is capable of are excellent, and it is well built and styled.
