Pentax K-1 or K-1 II?

Hello,

does any of you have personal experience with both Pentax K-1 and Pentax K-1 II models? Are the differences big enough to buy II model for someone, who is getting back to photography after 10-15 years?

My friend wants to get into photography professionally, has actual work experience form years ago, but no experience with modern cameras. The future use will be photostock oriented photography, landscapes, food photos, etc.

So far the final choice was K-1 model, but the price difference between K-1 and K-1 II is not that big here. K-1 sold with standard kit lenses, i heard they are usually not worth it, and K-1 II is just body, a bit cheaper than the kit.

The K-1 model was also chosen for rumored night photography option, like doing photos of starry sky etc. Does anyone know anything about that more specifically?

I myself have zero knowledge of photography, my friend is not tech savvy and does not speak English to reach out to international message boards etc for advice and research. I just want to get some more opinions before buying such serious equipment, because I myself am practically useless in that case (but I am in IT and when it comes to tech I am the person everyone asks lol).

I hope someone can discuss a bit those models or maybe suggest something else.
