I think the latest quotes are in keeping with my original expectations, currently owning an A7ii i did not requires people advising their opinions on the Sony. I was seeking feedback on the K1,I am content to now seriously consider purchasing the K1, and one of the most relevant points is that Pentax know how on the 645.
Many thanks to all contributors

Not looking to cause any issue Bill. I read your post and my response was based on what I understand you are possibly looking to move from a light mirror-less FF back to a heavy DSLR.
You ask if any one has compared image quality and handling between the A7II and the K-1, T hey are effectively worlds apart. How about going into a dealer that has K-1's in stock and see what you think. We see plenty of questions on the forum asking similar questions from time to time. People are different and so are hand sizes and opinions.
I would not personally base any serious investment (an odd term as a K-1 or A7II are not investments as neither hold value after a year, but I do understand your inference) on others opinions. You are still the best person to make the call should it be needed.
Best regards

I appreciate all comments, however it was my intent to seek advise from K1 owners on how the first Pentax venture into F/F had transpired. As advised my preference is now F/F and the Sony fulfiled all my expectations, however the lens options are so prohibited. ie. 24-70 F4 Zeiss £850 50mZeiss 1.8 £500 70-200 £850,Not looking to cause any issue Bill.

If the K1 feedback is positive from actual owners it will be my intent to re invest into Pentax

I'm a bit confused because isn't the Sony full frame as well? I am not in a position to compare but I have been really pleased with the K-1. Worth comparing expected shutter count as if it is to last then durability is important, the K-1 is 300,000. Also the WR could be a factor. Tough call.

Yes the Sony is full frame and it is my intention to stick to that, my questions were not on the likes/dislikes of the Sony, more on the members opinion on the K1.I'm a bit confused because isn't the Sony full frame as well?

Quality, Reliability, Likes/dislikes, handling etc. you appear to like the your K1, can you be more specific ?

Both the cameras are very expensive and need consideration, the Sony is so light and compact, a photographers dream. However the lenses are very prohibitively expensive and almost exclusively Zeiss, hence the price.
I prefer F/F because of the shallow DOF. Looking at the specification of the K1,it would appear to fill my needs and has now been in service for any issues to be identified, consequently i was looking to identify users opinion and not to question my reason

Around 12 months ago I sold my Pentax K3 and purchased a Sony A7ii body and kit lens. the camera takes Stunning images even with the kit lens, however I am considering purchasing a K1, as I wish to stick with F/F.
I would like to think that this will be my last serious investment in equipment and it is eithe change or invest heavily in Zeiss lenses for the A7ii.
Has anyone compared image quality/handling and can give any comparison
