Personally I like both the older lenses when i am looking for softer image and the newer lenses when i want it supper sharp. Great body the K1 is and the lens options are off the chart!

Well that sounds a bit dissipointing, I was thinking about doing the same but if the image is that bad... what's the point.

I have never tried this, sounds like a good idea to customize the WB.... new things to try as I have done this in editing before,

The ones on my K1 seem fine but this is definitely one of those personal preference issues,,,, I hope you find what works best.

That looks a bit sketchy to me but if you are carful in setting it up and there is no wind or gentle bumps... looks OK.
I would go with something a lot more substantial personnally.

I agree with an earlier post, the lenses you want to use is probably the biggest influence on whihc one you choose. Ki Mark II... it is a pretty awesome body... you will not go wrong with it.

As SLR camera's go this is about as durrable a body as you are going to find at this level. If you break this puppy, you would completely destroy any other SLR FF body. It is a camera so it comes with the necessity of care but for water proofing and durability... I don't think you are going to best this one!

I use 1 of two fixed lenses.... The Pentax-F SMC 1:2.8 28mm you gotta be comfortable getting up close or interested in more architectural street photography with it.
I also just started to experiment with a Pancake lense... The SMC Pentax-DA 1:2.8 40mm XS as it is very non-obtrusive and makes the camera far less intimidating. That lens is about 1 cm in depth... that's it. But it takes decent pictures so having fun with it.
I also use an old 50 mm FF Pentax lense I bought in 1086 for a Pentax film body.

My experience is that my old 1986 full framed 50 mm lens is fabulous on my Ki MarkII and that goes for other older FF lenses I have or have purchased at a good price as they are used. The Ki seems to work very well with them and I have had no problems, You can even have it set to beep when you manually focus if you like.
The only think is that it takes K mounts only (obvioulsy) but you have full access to all the new and some very old K mount lenses.
I also use a few of the newer lenses that are not FF and there you run into cropping issues in the corners... however there is a mode in the K1 to accomodate for this and it uses only the inner part of the sensor so no cropping happens.
I love this camera and I think you will find it can capture the old lens softness and bocas as well as take advantage of the sharper new lenses. its beautiful.

I have done this by accident with film... long time ago, but I had noth thought of doing it with the K1, sounds interesting and I bet if done right, really creative.... Time to experiment.
