Received a K-1 May 15,2016

I had a initial problem with my existing SD cards that were working in a K-01 that I was trying to use in the new K-1. I bought new SD HD 10 cards and the camera has worked great.

I have many old Pentax Lenses. I have been trying K-1 with a DA f4 16-45mm lens. It shows the lens ring at 16mm and has grey corners 20mm to 45mm. Less grey corners as you go from 20 to 45mm.  I like the effect of the lens ring at 16mm for some pictures. It is the lens I keep on my K-1. The pictures I have taken in Auto turn out great. When I use an f4 300 mm lens with the Auto setting it increases the speed to match the lens so pictures are sharp hand held with shake reduction on.  I have been very pleased with the pictures I have taken so far with the DA lenses. I Have A FA lens I have taken pictures with and they turned out great also. I am glad I waited for the K-1 it is a fantastic camera in my opinion.
