In the past, yes, exclusively manual primes. Lately I’ve bought three AF zooms and I understand your reply.

I’m happier with using my FF lenses my K-1 than my KP because the lens focal lengths and associated exposure triangle settings are completely intuitive after 45 years of shooting 35mm format. With APSc I’m forever thinking about conversions. As a consequence I shoot mostly snapshots with KP using DA lenses and some automation, whereas on K-1 I shoot mostly carefully exposed shots using Manual Mode and manual lenses.

That’s just my take on the hobby - I prefer manual exposure and focusing to letting the camera and lens do more of the work.

I own a KP and a K-1. Switching back and forth the K-1 is more comfortable and balanced than the KP with all but the DA Limited compacts on the KP (and using a small lens or FA Limited on K-1 is perfect). Long lenses are easier to handle and stabilize on K-1. I believe the full grip on the K-1 is the principal reason for the better ergonomics. KP is my travel and walk-around camera.

Overall I greatly prefer the K-1, though I admit that it isn’t an ‘all-day’ camera for me since it has more mass. I use a Peak Design Sling strap with K-1 and long lenses for comfort. With KP I just use a stock neck strap.
