Thank you everyone for the useful information. May try to purchase a couple of Cactus V6II. Has anyone heard if Pentax plans to provide a wireless trigger compatible with Pentax flashes?

I have a Pentax K1 and a Pentax AF360FGZ II. Trying to find a way to use my Pentax flash off camera in a wireless setup for outdoor fill flash situations.
Are there any triggers / receivers compatible with Pentax brand for this kind of setup? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Did you notice a big difference in image quality between k3 and k1 mark ii?
What other notable differences did you see between your two cameras?

I currently own a K3 and use the D-FA 24-70 mm lens and the DA 50mm lens. Ready to purchase a full frame very soon.

Trying to decide between the K1 and the K1 mark ii. If you recently upgraded, please share your experience and your thoughts.


Thank you.

Pentax k1 and with crop lenses

I got great information about using the 50mm DA F1.8 lens with the K1. Thanks for the info and the sample pics.


Does anyone have experiences using a the K1 with a DA 16-85mm lens and /or 10-20mm sigma lens?


Would love to know how they work in crop mode (how does it affect the megapixels/ image quality) and do they work in FF mode?


I currently use them with my K3. Thinking about upgrading to the k1 body but cant afford to buy new lenses at the moment.


Thanks in advance for the info.

I would like to know if the 50 mm F1.8 Da lens covers the full frame sensor of the Pentax K1 camera.

I've read that it does , however, I would love to hear it from someone on the forum who can actually verify this information.
Does it change the resolution /megapixels of the image?

FA 77mm limited vs 24-70 mm D FA

I 've heard from many that the 77mm limited is great for single person portraits. What about for family portraits? Can you get great shots for family portraits with a crop sensor camera and a 77mm? .

How good is the bokeh with the 24-70 when doing single person portraits or families compared to the 77mm?

Is the bokeh decent enough at f2.8 with the 24-70mm?

I currently have a K3 with a 50mm f1.8 and 15 -85 mm but seriously thinking about upgrading to full frame very soon.

Sounds like the 77mm is the way to go for nice portraits and bokeh.

If I buy one soon, I would be using it on my k3 until I can purchase a k1. I'm not familiar with FA lenses and their compatibilities with
crop sensor cameras. I know that the focal length changes to 115mm. Will all the features on my k3 work with that lens? Are there any limitations?
Also, do you find that the lens is super sharp on the k3 even though you have to shoot from a longer distance?
Just out of curiosity. Can you upload a picture taken with the k3 / 77mm and k1 /77mm. Same picture with the same f stop.

Just want to see the difference.

I have a 16 -85 mm lens for my k3 . You mentioned you use it on the K1.
I wasn't sure if I could use that lens on a k1. Does it work well with the K1?

I have a Pentax K3 and planning to go full frame soon.
In the meantime I would like to buy a lens that I can use on K3 for portraits and then use on K1.
Which would you recommend and why? I'm trying to decide between the FA 77 f1.8 limited
and the 24-70 mm f2.8 D FA lens. Please advise.
