Not me. I''ll save my $500. I've been pretty uninspired by the hand held PS samples posted to date, which was the aspect of the upgrade I was looking forward to most.

A warm welcome back. Can't do more than repeat what everyone else has already said.

“Highly Recommended (Just)”

Thanks for posting, although I formed the impression (possibly wrongly) that he used/tested it for a few hours or so and then rushed out a video. Is the AF improvement purely an algorithm change ...

This annoyance can be averted by releasing the locking switch as soon as the lens starts to move from its collapsed position. Then Position #1 becomes a 'hard-stop'.

Google: Tin Cheung Camera (Tsim Sha Tsui, also a branch in Central) Wing Shing Camera (Mong Kok). Both of the above carry Pentax. Whether they will have the precise lens you are after is another ...

Agree with your first sentence. But for your second sentence, it seems like a wash in the cityscape, and maybe in the studio scene I even prefer no PS to handheld PS (although, again, they're very...

Your second paragraph is correct. All Pentax DSLRs are the same. I've had split screens in K10D, K20D (from KatzEye, until they went bust) and now K-1 (from the link above). For the K-1, I didn't...

There are focus screens for K-1:

There is also focus-peaking in live view when old K lenses are used.

I'm using a K28/3.5, FA43, Cosina 55/1.2 (mainly), and Voigtlander 180/4 with my K-1. I also have the DFA 28-105, but that sees relatively little use. EDIT: forgot the second question: No, I'm not ...

All compositions must lean heavily to the left.

Must be a typo on their part. It's the * lens, gold band and all. There is no other DA 300mm ...

"There are only three big brands in the sector." Pentax were presumably overlooked on a market share basis, then. Ah well, doesn't matter ...

Whilst in the mood, you might as well compare the sounds of your 14" snare drum to your 16" floor tom, in different rooms with different mics and different pre-amps in order to decide which is the ...

It's not released yet. "2018 Summer" according to the lens roadmap.

On the fence here: I might well upgrade my K-1, but I will wait to see how these improvements actually perform first. I suppose my main question otherwise is: what have the engineers been up to for ...

No. It means 218 days until the next teaser.   :-)

Well, he does say "gets a bit nitpicky" in the title. Several of the items look to be possibly 'firmware fixable' to me. Perhaps some could be just as quick and easy as the perennial "increased ...

Very sad news.  RIP
