I have a K-1 and the Tamron 70-200mm f/2.8 and they work great together.

Main points:

Lens minuses compared to more modern offerings:
-Screw drive noisy compared to modern drives.
-AF/MF on lens clutch redundant w/ on body AF/MF switch.
-Not weather sealed.

Lens pluses:
-Cost me $525 used and is only $769 new.
-Sharp as a tack
-Wonderful colors.
-The bokeh is very pleasing to my eye.
-No impact on IQ, but I find it to be a handsome lens, especially with the hood attached.
-Relatively light for this lens spec.
-Comes with a hood and a very nice padded carrying bag.
-Cost me $525 used… you get the point.

First three pics here are with the K-1 and the ones after are from when I used it with the K-3ii.

May have already been listed on this thread, but this manual focus Venus 15mm 'Macro' lens shift Venus for just under $500 currently lives on my wish list:

Many good reviews including the one on this forum, but this one has excellent examples of the lens shift at work:

I have long found this forum to be a great source of knowledge.

First SLR experience was my Dad teaching me how to shoot on his Pentax ME Super so I have always had a soft spot for the brand although I tend to bounce around a bit.

More recently I had and enjoyed a K-3ii.

Recently traded another entire system to fund ordering a K-1 which is due to arrive some time in May.

Until then I am kicking around with the K20D I borrowed from my Dad (I purchased for him when his ME Super packed it in on a trip he and my Mother took to the Grand Canyon a while back) and a Takumar 135mm f/2.5 I bought as the first K-1 purchase from keh.com ($39.00) in anticipation of the K-1.

Recent photos of and with the combo here:

Will be taking lens purchases slow after that, but I already have a good idea for what I will be getting first after the legacy 135mm. Definitely will be doing research here as a part of the process.

Have a great day.
