Still, it's not that sort of a list.

I'm thinking along the same lines...
Buying a K1 to use old glass is like buying a new top of the range Mercedes-Benz just so you can use your old floor mats from your 1990 merc cos they fit...
I think us Pentax users are in a very good place - the old lenses, with limitations, will work beautifully on a K-1....It's also not as if you have a D5 or 1DX2 which really do need the latest lenses to work at their best.
If the 30 year old glass is outperformed by F and FA lenses not to mention DA why would it suddenly shine on FF?
I'm not talking about 4 or 500 quid lenses like K specials but the run of the mill PK lenses.
My most expensive lens is the HD 16 -85 which isn't FF neither are any if my other good lenses apart from the 100 macro and the 50mm f1.4.
The key to this is to see which "individual" lenses work on the K-1, and I'm assuming....well, hoping is more the case....that the K lenses, as well as the DFA100, will work very well. But, at the moment, we just don't know.

Mine was fixed by Alan Marlow, lens cleaned and tested, and it has come back as good as new, so don't worry.
If you haven't used him before I can recommend him.

just wondering - did anybody upgrade from K5 to K5IIs? How do you find it? Would there be noticeable increase of details due to missing antialiasing filter? I found some quite mixed info on web and can't make my mind. I do like K5, especially its dynamic range is great for landscapes. I like shooting landscapes from tripod, but I wonder if K5IIs will provide me more clarity and more detail by any chance?
