Hi boys and girls
I'm back to Pentax after trying several other brands.
I really like the Pentax 'bang for the buck' (like the nice viewfinder, WR, stabilisation etc on lower end bodies) and the many buttons on higher end bodies like K1 , K3 and KP
Also the fact that Pentax, unlike other brands, doesn't make 100 versions of the same camera with nearly no changes is something i admire (almost every Pentax has a different look)
Also really loving Pentax colors (and Ricoh since I got a GR iii, they match Pentax colors well)
I hope Pentax can still remain active for a long time and gain more members over time, the idea of them sticking with DSLR is I good move.
After all, their KP + ltd prime is smaller then most decent mirrorless cameras
Such a shame Pentax cameras are hard to get a hold off in local stores..
Oh and lost but not least, also loving this great website of course ! :)

I know this is an old thread but I was recently in the same boat.
I have a k70, ks1, k01 and k7 which I really like, but due to the price drops I also have a K1 now.
Damn this thing is amazing, yea it's a bit heavy but what a beauty and joy to use !!!!
and this sensor is magic !
And no I don't want to invest in heavy or expensive glass !
I'm using some cheap FA zoom lenses , 50mm 1.4 , 55mm and 100mm macro and all looks amazing !
I'll be selling most of my aps c stuff now to fund a second K1 (ii)
Pentax already brough my love for photography back,and this camera goes a step further still.

hey hey guys
I'm new to this forum, i recently got myself a ricoh GR II and totally loving it (for street and travel)
I finally decided to get a Pentax K1 , with 28-105 since it only costs 250 € when bought it in kit new with the K1 !
now i'm mainly a prime guy, so what primes would you recommend for me ? (not overly expensive)
I mainly do portret , landscape and street (but I am not going "undercover" on the streets with a K1 :asleep:)
Does the 40mm XS work on K1 ? or the 77MM da 2.4 or do they vignette ?
thanks in advance
