Hi folks!
I was curious if anyone in our local bunch has
preordered the K-1, or has
zero interest - or is in between, with
enough interest to rent one first. I'd put myself in the third category myself, since so many features are new or highly-refined updates of APSc tech. The idea of carrying 1.5x or 2x my current gear weight isn't too appealing, but I cannot pretend some of the new features don't call to me by name!
To those who would consider renting a K-1 I'd ask a follow-up: how much $ for how long a rental? I know essentially nothing about LensRentals and other sites to have a feel for this part. On the other hand I can do math pretty well, and if five of us could chip in $350 we'd have a K-1 to pass around. (Heck we'd even have a
custom setting for each person!) Such a group would have to lay down ground rules on how the time-share would work for any one person's specific event dates, damage questions, how to bail out of the group if | when you bought your own K-1, any process to buy the others out
.. &c &c &c..
So it's not as simple as
"who wants a K-1 for $350?" but it might be workable.
Just thought I'd toss that out & see what happens.
In the meantime,
Love the K You're With!
