Im not far from going to FF and the D750 beckons, but your take on the AF is very interesting.

What apertures do you shoot your work in mainly ?

I completed a first swimwear shoot on the weekend for a local designer known to me and at my weddings so far,I avoid shooting wide because its often a disaster with my apsc gear.

Using focus points more is slightly better than focus and reposition. I too dislike the k3, its going to be one of the first items leaving to fund a FF purchase.....

For me the K1 would fill the spot my K3 currently occupies as a "responsive" camera to shoot certain things that the 645Z is not suited well for. I usually shoot between f/4 to f/5.6 on the 645Z and usually do the same with my other gear. Today I did however to test the limits shot a lot wide open at 2.8 with the 24-70 and was amazed how many shots the tracking focus nailed perfectly. My old 1Dx was no where as accurate at 2.8

The Canon 1DX has a shutter lag of 54ms; the Pentax K3 has a shutter lag of 91ms; the Nikon D4 has a shutter lag of 45ms. How would you rate the the shutter lag on the K1?

Well I have no manner of measuring shutter lag, that said it seemed faster than the 1Dx. Never having used the D4 I can't compare it. It is faster than the K3 or my 645Z

Thank you. If it is as fast as the 1Dx then that is really quite an accomplishment on  the part of the Pentax engineers!!
