Well the divorce aspect does throw another light onto it ... I've been there myself many years ago, in my youth clearly at a time when I didn't think things through as much as I do now
It's puts a new slant onto the whole jumping ship thing ....'all items up for sale, the divorce has just come through so I'm going Full Frame' .... ....
Hey, that's a new thing anyone realised now that we don't HAVE to jump ship to go FF ...?!?

I am enjoying this thread. I will almost certainly never own a K1, but I am enjoying in vicariously through the forum.
I have neither the money or the Mojo for such a wonderful bit of kit.

Well its put paid to all the complaining and moaning type threads we used to have, about why Pentax had failed to produce a FF !
It presents rather a challenge really .... No longer can we sit back and just say we want/need a FF, and how terrible it is to have to switch brands to get one. Somehow for many us, the reality of having a much easier choice is now not quite so .... easy.

Absolutely right, I'm delighted!Well its put paid to all the complaining and moaning type threads we used to have, about why Pentax had failed to produce a FF !

Not only a Pentax Full Frame but a very GOOD Pentax Full Frame at a price that beats the nearest competition, and includes features and capabilities that no others have.
There's nothing near the price that's anything like as good...wish I could say the same about the lenses.......
I don't keep cupboards full of older cameras like some people, I sell to upgrade, and I sold some cherished collectibles to fund the K-1, and very happy so far......

I thought divorce made one stony broke, Graham. I must have been misinformed...

No, I took it to mean that his ex really did not see the Full Frame advantage.

Ah, chaps, the divorce was in 2011 and yes I was cleaned out, but managed to keep the home and good access to the children.grahamcoad wrote:

Since then I have recovered, and stayed single, so If I have some money I can do what I want with it, no-one I need to ask or appease
SO, no redecoration or holiday this year, no new 'outfits' or hairdos, just a Pentax K-1 full frame.
I think I might go to the pub now, and stay out as late as I like!
