As to the K-S1 itself, having just one dial for aperture and shutter-speed adjustment is going to take some getting used to. Today, in fiddling with it I kept changing the switch on the left side of the camera from AF to MF and so missed perhaps a dozen shots. Hopefully I'll be able to avoid doing that before I miss shots more important than the ones I was taking today.

I have the same issue with my K-S1. This lever obviously prefers to be in MF position!

With a screwdrive lens, I can use the absence of AF noise as an indication, but the 18-135 is too silent.
