These images on an OLED screen, wow.

Well that's 40x more expensive than OPs...!!!

I recently came across an Mk II which I promptly bought and put away. My original K-1 is fine but it's worth having the backup (and it's good to have one of each model). I don't think I'll be able to ever enjoy APS-C bodies the way I enjoy the FA Ltds on these.

It'll be worth keeping for parts if you do get another GR II.

As seen with your Q sets, you're clearly a top class street shooter so I guess you'd be able to deliver even if handed a potato to shoot with!

Brilliant set but I can't (really) choose between 2, 5 and 6. Fantastic framing and colours.

It's a surprise... The fisheye is capable of bokeh!

Actually.. maybe I'll go with 5. Edible image.

This comes with the case and hood too - great value.

It won't be a motor issue in my experience. My bet is on the forked contacts being bent out of shape or perhaps a ribbon that has disconnected due to a slight bump.

I had a 16-50 that would refuse to focus correctly recently, and a quick disassembly of the rear showed that one of the main ribbons was chilling out near the port instead of secured in it.

Speak to John Pye Technical first but if you need anyone to give it a once over, I'd be happy to check it out.

I've felt the same way too... but ultimately it's down to companies to ensure their revenue streams in the current market and Ricoh haven't really been up to it when it comes to the Pentax name.

If you want a mindblowing portrait lens today (or 4 years ago), you have limited choices when purchasing new:

- HD FA 77/1.8
- D-FA* 85

Some will look at the HD FA 77 and decide the greater flare resistance and the 'limited' JPEG profile make it worth buying. That's cool, I guess...

But Ricoh haven't really leaned into that stream the way we all wanted them to. Could it have been possible to produce an updated body for that lens, perhaps with WR and a DC motor? I'm sure more of us would have found reason to buy it over the old legendary SMC version.

You could say the same for their other Ltds, and their FA wide angle lenses. Even the telephoto prime options for the K-1 were originally APS-C designs that weren't leveraged fully.

In fact one lens that comes to mind as a smart release was the HD release of the 10-17 fisheye. That lens actually featured a modified front to allow for a detachable hood - making it suitable for use on the K-1.

So it's mixed emotions for me...

You don't need one, they're only a huge chunk of glass that makes the dreamiest images...

I don't think there's any need to rush to buy the remaining stock. The used market is going to stay around for ages, and it's been getting easier to pick up great cameras and lenses at bargain prices.
