The second photo reminds me of a spot, from when I was young.
The local lads and gals so to speak, meeting up on a winters Friday night before heading into town, 40 plus years ago though
Nice photograph.

Wouldn't worry about it too much, the legacy lens perform great on the K1, particularly primes and a select few zooms from the A series.
Yes the sensor out resolves the lens, as I have read so many times but not as much as one would think as to interfere with the final image after post processing a raw file.
Contrast might be lacking a tad but its easy to make it work in edit.
I was in the same boat and hadn't a clue how to edit digital properly, probably still don't:roll

The K1iii is in production 61 mega pixels and to be released early next year according to insiders. My computer can barley handle the 36 that the k1 currently has. Lots of hidden expenses with the new model.
The price tag is rumoured to be in the 4 grand plus range.
It won't tempt me at that price and others I suspect, but It might mean that a few used K1 are well priced currently.
Best of luck and go for it, you won't be disappointed with the quality.

I once drove 120 miles round trip, with no SD cards in the camera or anywhere else in the car for that matter
Yep it happens.

Contrasty photographs but its a contrasty day, colours look good but distortion is at play.

Ultra wide lens on FF, I went with the Irix 15mm Pentax fit, Irix do Canon fit also.
Manual focus only but with a focus ring lock which is very handy for infinity focus (90% of the time in my case) when focus is nailed.
Handles distortion superbly when kept level on both planes.
Optics are excellent but requires sharpening in post but responds easily.
john Riley has a review of this lens on this site.
Just an alternative view to the lenes you are considering

This is one of my first photos with the lens on the K1 and pointing upwards B@W i know but still
