Re: Live view autofocus on Pentax cameras

Pentax LV is behind other cameras, but it works just fine. The K-1 display could be more detailed.  I tend to use LV for still subjects.  Never a problem.

If you were otherwise happy with your S1R, I'm not sure why you would add a K-1. As you observe, you can adapt Pentax glass, and it doesn't; sound like AF is a key concern for you. I had an S1R for a month, and I did end up sticking with my K-1. My reasons might not be your reasons:

Good luck!
