I have not seen one Anniversary edition of the Z-1, might I suggest a Z-1p, these are more plentiful

think you mean f4.5, any K-mount lens will work on your K-70 (any for RK fit will need 'modification'
ok, ok, I'll get my coat.
Enjoy the K-70. I actually had the Nikon competitor in my hands yesterday (D5500), you have the much better camera...

The 500FTZ predates the MZ-series by several years, but the 645n was a few years after... the flashes (330 and 500) came out with the Z-series cameras in 1991... nothing amateur about the Z-1

I was there in June and the weather was worse than what you experienced.
When you were in Tjørnuvík did you try the local waffles?
Despite the weather, I would certainly recommend the Faroe Islands. Expensive, but nearly as much as Iceland and Norway.
PS. Intrigued by your PU username. As well as the Land Rover Defender I have a SAAB 9-5 Aero and SAAB 9-3 convertible.
A trip to Faroes is defintely recommended - there's a lot of driving for sure but while Vagar airport isn't equipped to handle anything bigger than A320s the islands remain a hidden gem. My trip was sort of full board so all we needed money for was beer (Faroe beer is good), snacks and souvenirs...
It's amazing how many people I come across drive Saab and use Pentax gear. I actually have one of the last NG9-5s (2011 Aero Turbo 4) which replaced a 2009 Turbo Edition Aero. Amazing cars bu the parts situation makes me very nervous, I knew this before I bought Helga (the NG) but I've been waiting 9 months for a new windscreen and at least another 4 months to wait, MOT is due in 4 weeks. I've had a 2003 9-3 SS Aero and a 1983 99GL 4-door (you can tell I like my 3-box saloons), my father owned 13 Saabs altogether - so Saabs were drummed into me from an early age, as was my love for Wrexham AFC and the K-mount.
As for the waffles, probably just as well you didn't try them, the whipped cream was off on the 2nd day we were there....
I look forward to seeing more of your photos.

Cameras will be replaced by new models with presumably better performance , but why wait for those when we know future models will be even better. Live for the now and enjoy what we have...
It's just like a car like a Fiat Punto or Panda a few years ago would've got 4/5 Euro NCAP scores for safety at launch but when they have been retested to new standards today, they are considered deathtraps (same happened to the Metro if you remember - NCAP damned it in 1997 but it was one of the safest in 1980).

I think there will be a lot of interest in the 70-700mm f4, I hope it will be another *lens.
