Certainly shows off the K1's potential. Anything with other DA lenses, especially with crop mode?
Nothing yet, although since my FF compatible glass is a little sparce I'll be testing some today to see how they compare directly to the K3

These are better than I expected and at last the 43mm can show how good it is.

Hi Algi, I have to say that every time I've upgraded (K100>K200D, K200d->K5, K5->K3) first test shots have always been a little disappointing because expectations are so high and a takes a while to settle into a new camera. Not so this time, quite the opposite, expectations are being blown out of the water...

So, I took the K-1 to my local park this lunch time with the FA43ltd and DA*300, first real test in a more normal environment. Overall, I'm loving the camera, feels incredibly familiar but better, more up to date, quicker. Viewfinder is fantastic, focussing is much better than my K-3 and very quickly get used to the new positioning of buttons etc.

Anyway here are the results, C&C welcome

2: No park series is complete without a flying rat, while not perfect the AFC mode miles better than K3 (ISO 800)

There are updates to Lightroom and ACR than now support processing of K-1 RAW files. Hats off to Adobe and Pentax for getting their respective acts together so quickly

I just updated Lightroom on my 5K iMac and imported RAW files of my first play with the K-1 last night, I have to say that the image quality and sharpness of the K-1/FA77 combo are astonishing ! I had a play with pixel shift and just looking at the LR rendered RAW files from both shifted and non shifted versions, it's a proper WOW moment ! Viewing them on the 5K retina screen really highlights the difference.

This camera is just Awesome !

Poor subject, but after a days work and 4 hour round trip to SRS, I didn't have time for anything particularly creative. However I did have to have a little play with Pixel Shift. One image with and without below.

Resolution is amazing, Camera feels like an old friend. Gonna be very happy, will give it a proper test tomorrow and at the weekend..

Both jpg straight out of camera, just cropped.. Haven't figured out reading a RAW file yet but I can confirm that a pixel shift RAW files is 161MB :-O
