Hi folks

Even though I'm 63 years old, this is my first Pentax.
I'm looking for a full-frame camera and after a long time I decided on a Pentax K1 II kit.

Now I'm excited! A good descicion I think.

Then I found your site in the net. Very helpful informations and tools, nice pictures and above all, a great forum with very friendly manner.

Kind regards

Markus

Hello from Germany! I own the K1 since 2017 and still love it.
Besides, I live next to Basel where do you live?

Hello from Akron Ohio USA.
Yes, this is a wonderful forum and people are very nice and helpful.

K1 is indeed a great full frame, I really enjoy mine.

Since you had the choice between the Pentax and various bigger brand and mirrorless options, I'm curious what it is that made you go this way? I'm sure you won't regret it, of course!

Welcome from Maine.

Spent a night in Zurich followed by a train ride into Germany. Beautiful city at night. (Jet lag kept us awake most of the night.)

Enjoy the K-1 II. I just purchased mine a couple weeks ago.
