Nice ! The third image is just too yellow regarding colour. The last one is slightly too magenta. The true colour lies in between. The galactic bulge (the central part of the Milky Way) consists ...

So.... - you are a mercenary Troll ?....

If you want to buy a FF camera - you have something in mind. You don't just "jump" on an older camera because it is cheaper... You examine the virtues of what is on the market. And the K-1 is very ...

True - but I am one of the older-generation film-era pentaxians who kept their best lenses for use when a digital body became available. It took some time.... but I am now joyfully using the A* ...

Holger - you have said it as it is. The K-1 adresses a "niche" of - rather frustrated - "older Pentaxians" who had invested in high quality FF optics for FF film photography. Those optics (the A* ...

I fully with you ! Taken with  K-1 and 30 year old Pentax A* 200mm F: 2.8 manual focus

The Pentax is weather sealed. It does not need an internal stabilizer since it is made for the K-1. It has modern optics. And is nevertheless cheaper. You seem to have been sorely frustrated at ...

I really would not call the new 28-105 "overpriced". It is in fact a surprisingly good medium zoom. Have you at least tried it ?

Now! - That is a most pertiment remark!

That is also what it looks like. And close to the lens.

Very nice ! What were your lenses ?

What ?   !!!  ???

I have not tried it on my K5IIs, but since it is excellent on the FF K-1 for the central part of the  image, I would say that it is also so for the APS-C field.

Well..... - I think you have said just about all there is to be said in favour of the K-1. I agree to your lucid presentation. And - I am now enjoying once again the fine A* lenses I bought some 30 ...

I was also disappointed that it did not go down to 24mm (I was used to the SONY 24-240 as a general purpose lens). However, in the few occasions where a wider field is necessary, I resort to ...

I agree that that lens is surprisingly good. In the beginning, I had some doubts regarding its reach (I would have liked it to go to 150 mm or 200mm) as an all-purpose lens for travel and hiking. ...

Well - many years on... I still have not met a camera which so easily allows one to make true infrared images (albeit without the possibility to use aperture) so simply. "Political correctness" has ...

Nice to know that it still survives in Greece....

It is a Short-toed Eagle (Circaetus gallicus). French: Circaète Jean-le-Blanc, German: Schlangenadler, Italian: Biancone, Spanish: Aguila culebrera.
