That's just a matter of time. On the bright side Pentax has more FF lenses available upon release than Sony currently have years down the track.
Sigma make an amazing Art series 20mm f1.4.... Not that this helps.
My experience with Pentax and TTL was less than amazing as opposed to the way Nikon works. Manual flash is fairly universal so little difference there.
But as an example the D5 has introduced built in radio triggering of the new SB-5000. I know they are completely different beasts at very different price points. But the radio control is something you can see will trickle down through the levels.
Also I know a camera can't have every single feature each individual wants and that's fair enough. On the flip side I wish my D810 had GPS and Wifi.
Not sure how noticeable ISO 64 is but I use it where I can as it is the base figure. Sure is nice having that exposure flexibility though. I rather it at that end than at the higher end.

Yes... 1/800s. And I did some more today.

I want as many focus points covering as much of the frame, with as little space between them as possible. But everyone has their own way of focusing.
Not that I use TTL much but from my experience Pentax was a bit hit n miss where Nikon is extremely reliable. To be fair I never really got into flash photography until I moved to Nikon though.
Like I said I didn't mean for my post to put the K-1 down. Just highlighting some oddities. I truly think the K-1 will be the best FF landscape camera around. If the K-1 had come out a year and a half ago with the exact same specs I would have jumped at it. Too invested in Nikon to look back now.

Come on... I know this is Pentax Forums but you've got to see how so many of these results are skewed in the Pentax's favour and omits things where the Nikon is superior?
For example it rates both of their battery lives as equal. Yet the Pentax battery life is 60% of the Nikon. No mention that in lens shake reduction is actually usable for video unlike the Pentax's IBIS. And this is despite it penalising the Nikon at every opportunity for lack of stabilisation (when there are many situations where it isn't necessary). The graphs are laughable. How in any way can the Pentax be better for Portraits? It has the weaker auto focus system, terrible flash support (does it even do HSS?) let alone in built commander system like the Nikon has. Nikon smacks the Pentax for lens availability, most of them were actually made this century too. No mention of third party lens support.
I'm not saying the K-1 isn't a great camera. Some great features and unbelievable value. Just saying this comparison conveniently skips some details.
