Beautiful and great job. I never knew that refractors can deliver such high quality images.

Hi all,
Just a courtesy note to those who helped in my decision to buy Pentax K1. I got a fairly new system from Japan and was able to use some old lenses. It is really nice to have this camera. It is still cold in NY, haven't ventured out too much to study and post pictures, but I am liking it.
Now I am interested in manual aperture control than auto f-stop, it is so much organic to feel the settings than just click a button. :).
Cheers and happy new year.

This is super cool. It is precisely applicable to the type of things I would want to do with old glass. Great pictures.

Hi,
I am a photography enthusiast, more on the lines of physical optics.
Have got several used and new entry to mid-range cameras (film and APSC-DSLRs).
I joined the forum before making a K1 purchase and almost very convinced to buy Pentax K1 and its value for money.
Following are the things that impressed me.
1. Inclusion of 5 axis stabilization system in camera over dependencies on lens manufacturer's stabilization system-Brilliant idea.
2. Anti-alias filters corrections, diffraction corrections algorithms-Another great idea.
3. Simple light to load lens (I wish the dial controls had a fluorescent shade-comes handy in astrophotography).
4. Full color pixel shift corrections for RGB
5. Astrotracker
6. Compatibility to older glass lenses- very environmentally friendly!
7. Rugged design.
8. APS-C option.
There were a couple of draw-backs or not so great features in other forums like WiFi, less videographic features and lower fps. Only lower fps would be of concern for sports shooting, the rest does not matter much to me.
The price range is also very attractive.
I personally have found Sony CMOS very good but Pentax CMOS is already at a pro-level with K1 and K3's and for an amateur like me.
I hope I made a right decision. Further, one of my missions is to use old heavy lenses and shoot in manual modes as far as possible. I think there is a good optical system available and with tools like adobe/ lightroom/ darktable, the rest can be accomplished.
This camera might be contributing to a lot of learning and advance photography skills.
This forum has a lot of experienced photographers, I would like to hear from them on my observations.
Glad to be in pentaxforums.
