I've started using AFS.C and AF2 because I can hold AF button with thumb to keep focus and track and press shutter to capture image.

Didn't want to start a new thread, but is there a good beginner's resource for getting into astro photography using a K1 (original)?
TIA!

Three bird shots taken at the St. Augustine Alligator Farm.
Using the Bigma with the K1. Performed excellently!

Nope. But there is a use there for those that might. Good point.
I know they come with it. Just never saw or had a use for it. Now I know there are some for some. :)

Or only for the purpose of a reference track to an external audio source like I do with my K01. :)

Received my K1 (purchased slightly used from the PF Marketplace, thank you very much) and after getting the settings the way I wanted them (most of them anyway).
Did some playing around with various FF and APC-C lenses I had, but also received the Sigma Bigma 50-500 and boy it lives up to its name! So used to the comparatively compact DA* 60-250. Wowza.
Here's a couple of test shots with the Bigma too. First is one of my sweet dogs handheld at 500mm. Like the noise reduction on the K1. This says it's at ISO 25600 and I applied no PP NR either...
And this thing was up in the sky. Not sure what it's called. At 500x1.4 TC so 700mm? Was on Tripod and I forgot to turn of the OIS so oops.
So this was my first time holding the K1 and so far, I'm liking it alot.
My Russian 55mm did well, the DA*55 did well, the DA50 (cheapie) seemed to do well too. Oddly the DA 35mm Macro LTD says it's not FF, but APS-C only, but didn't detect too much vignetting with the few quick shots I took. Sigma 70mm was a champ (FF of course).
Also picked up the Tamron 70-200mm 2.8 to replace the 60-250. The Bigma was just a special treat to myself. :)

Mine was DavisMax (they sell a lot of electronics on Amazon).
The one I got turned out not to be gray market, so I was relieved there. But it did arrive in a kit box with the lens removed. I reported it to Pentax and they were not thrilled with the practice at all. I requested the company send me the original box and I would send them the kit box and they refused. They wanted me to send back the entire camera -- which was then used. They also wanted it in the original packaging to issue a refund.
This was a trap in my estimation.
1. I never had the original box to start with, so they could CLAIM that the kit box was not original and ding my refund.
2. The camera was now used (several clicks), so they could CLAIM it was not in original condition and ding my refund.
I refused that option and demanded either the box or a $100 credit. They refused.
I said I was going to Amazon. They refused.
I went to Amazon. Amazon went to them. They played innocent and again demanded the camera be returned. Amazon told me to send the camera back to them and then the refund could be processed BASED ON DAVISMAX' report that I'd returned everything in the original packaging and condition.
So back to that same trap, just with the weight of Amazon behind it.
I explained the same to Amazon. Amazon canned replied to send the camera back.

Yes, three times. I finally replied one more time asking to direct this to someone who would actually READ the details, not just auto-respond.
I then gave up any hope. I seriously was not going to pursue this any farther. The $100 was not worth the effort. At first it was and figured the company would just settle, but they stretched it out and then it became like a cat toying with a mouse, I didn't expect any relief, but wanted them to think twice about such a shady practice.
Two days later I got an email saying I would receive a $100 credit.
Net for K-3 body only: $1073.19 + days of grief and nuisance.

Arca Swiss plates can be had cheaper. Their shine was IMO the L bracket which if they aren't making, then a pox on them. Lol.

DxO supports DNG just not K-3 DNG yet. They said they will mid January.
DNG is RAW same as PEF. Just different formats.
