I have a Pentax K-3ii. :)
---------- Post added 03-20-23 at 12:38 PM ----------
I had for some short time the Metz 52 af-1, but something kind of 'exploded' inside and the guys at the repair center told me that they would have to change the main circuit, so it might be better to buy a new device. Therefore, when I actually have to buy it (because I had the old one for free), I started looking at the better options. Having had a flash for a very limited time, I did not explore its possibilities and I am still a newbie that looks for something rather universal, more suitable for outdoors. I understand that TTL is just for the beginning, but I am a complete newbie, so maybe it would be a good to have this option to start with.
I have to say that I am very grateful for everybody who participates in this discussion. Especially for being helpful in a very friendly way. :)

Yes, I agree and believe it's just an honest mistake too. Though it doesn't change the fact that the lens is not a good fit. :)

Shutter count is 5 to 10 thousand actuations on each, so they are both in a very good condition on that.

Hello, fellow pentaxians, I am not a professional photographer and a newbie in this forum. Though I always had some questions about the post-processing. One of the pictures that I always wondered about is the one I added below. I took it by chance, while walking in the early morning by the pier in Greece. When zoomed-in, you could see a man with a fishing-line attached to a match. However, when the photo is zoomed out, all you can see is a man holding a match, and a fishing line is not visible. Is there a way to make the fishing-line more visible without too much re-doing the original picture itself and without adding something that was not there in the first place? I have tried to move various sliders back and forth, though I did not get the expected result. I was hoping you could share your insights on the post-processing.
And of course, at the same time I wanted to share with you the picture that I got by chance and that surprised me in a very pleasant way. The paused moment and the unusual fishing method seems really mesmerizing to me.

I noticed this dog in Greece. He was sitting on the top of a building which itself was on the top of the hills. At that time I only had with me a manual focus 50mm lens and just a few seconds to capture the image. I missed a good focus, but I value this picture as a memory of how the most unexpected things can happen in the most unexpected places. When I think of serendipity, this is what comes to mind at first.

Thank you everybody for your insights, they are very very helpful and I appreciate each of them a lot! You are right, probably I don't need grip, a few extra batteries would be enough. And I agree about the remark on too many actuations for the Pentax K-3 I was willing to buy. At the moment I have no photo-equipment, that's why I was thinking to buy a more universal lens together with a body and to re-build my set later on. I do not have an option to choose an extended warranty on K70. As climbmountainway said, I am starting to think, maybe these two are really not my only options, maybe I could wait for K3, K3ii or KP body and buy a lens separately. The thing is I am on a tight budget, but I looked at the forum-sales and saw there were some good options before, so something similar could probably come up again.
