having looked at the specs for the new k70. Would this be a better choice of camera than the K3 or K3ii. I am on a budget of about £700, and the K1 would be another year away of saving. But given my interests, the K70 seems to be a great idea ---------- Post added 06-12-2016 at 05:46 PM ----------
certainly intend to

Having looked at the specs of the K3 and K3ii. The only difference I can see is that the K3ii has astrotracker and GPS. The astrotracker is not required for me as my telescope is motorised and will track anyway. GPS is of no interest to me. So it seems to me the K3 is the best choice unless anyone can point out any advantages the K3ii would have for me

It's a 6" refractor with alt azi mount Then placed on a brick column rather than a tripod ---------- Post added 05-29-2016 at 09:15 AM ----------
I have two lenses from 35mm film days so would they act as FF lenses on the K1 ---------- Post added 05-29-2016 at 09:17 AM ----------

Having been a pentaxian since the days of film I have quite a few lenses and bellows and extention tubes. I am thinking of upgrading, but do not know whether to buy a K3 or K3ii or go whole hog and save even harder for the FF K1, my main interests are macro and ornithology, I would like to get into astrophotography and already have the telescope and convertors to attach pentax to the telescope.
So would be really grateful for any thoughts on the matter
Cheers
