If your language skills are like mine, that might not be enough. :D

As always, I look at the images and read the technical stuff. Others look at the K-1 as an advancement to their photographic hopes and dreams. I look at it more as a more affordable manageable replacement of my desired 645z.

I've never felt there was no benefit to a FUll Frame, just for me, APS-c makes more sense. If i get a K-1 it will be largely a closet camera. Useful for when I'm not walking with the system, or someplace where landscape is possible but wild life isn't. As long a I have a K-3 and a back up for my K-3 adding a K-1 will be a possibility. But it will never be my "bread and butter" body.

I can see the advantages, but, 100-800 ISO where 99% of my shooting is done, a K-1 has little to offer. You can see the difference in the Imaging resources cloth images, But I don't think those kinds of differences lead to a photograph being better very often. I still think 36 MP images are overkill. APS-c is still the best set of compromises for me.

RIght now a K-3II with pixel shift is a lot more attractive.

But if at some point I have chance to add a few K-1 abilities to my APS-c based system for use when appropriate, I might do that.

From what I've seen, a K-1 wide open at ƒ4 and 6400 ISO, would have less noise than a K-3II at ƒ2.8 and 1600 ISO, the same DoF, half the weight. of a comparable 2.8 lens, Having a 60-250ƒ4 instead of a 70-200 ƒ2,8, I have to say, this would be a lens I might be interested in if the cost differential, is like that of the 60-250 and the 70-200, and the quality is up there with the 60-250,

I have an FA 35-80 I use occasionally on APS-c. It would be a lot more useful on FF,
