I've recently bought a K50 and updated the firmware from v1-00 to v1-01. I've seen that on the N American support page that there is a firmware v1-02.
Should I stay on the newest UK firmware or "upgrade" it to v1-02?

Thanks

I always find the parent site most up to date... There is no UK firmware, just a neglected web site in my opinion.

http://www.ricoh-imaging.co.jp/english/support/download_digital.html for 1.02 in your case. More to come soon for newest lenses I guess.

This firmware update has been out for a while now (not long after the 1.4X HD AF converter was introduced). This update allows the K50 to use the 1.4X converter with no issues plus improves the usual stability (???) issues with every firmware that seems to come out, what the issues are never seem to be given.
I updated the other half`s K50 with no problems whatsoever.
I did not realise it was not listed on the UK site otherwise would have posted it
