I remember having to call in at the school office on Commonwealth day (circa 1963) to point out that even they were flying the Union flag upside down. So nothing new! I guess many have no idea there is any difference. Was good at the time embarrassing the 'so called' experts!

There is a Pentax K T6 2X with case on Ebay right now. It's a very good rear converter for green button metering

Actually there's two UK ones listed presently, but they're not the Vivitar macro. Is there any advantage in using that over extension tubes?

That's not sensor size, they're all APS-C, you mean resolution. A lower sensor size would be M4/3rds or the Q.

I own a K-S1. Nothing wrong with quality - very good in fact - but quirky design and features, and a more basic spec. Designed for phone users I'd say, but I find it's great as a high IQ walk-around body paired with any Ltd lens.

The K-S1 is possibly the lightest DSLR around so convenient to carry when I don't want to carry a DSLR! Given it cost me under £100 brand new (store display model) was incredible value. Then I used it and was stunned by its image quality.
PS I'm not really much of a phone user yet don't feel disadvantaged using it because of that!

Great to see you around again Daniel.
As to the KP, I reckon its main issue is that it was designed to be in the budget range albeit with an improved specification over existing models in that range, but marketed and priced as a premium product. There was quite a lot of confusion as to where it sat in the range at launch, some believing it was the top APS-C model. Could be some still believe it is.

The KP is a good camera but there are problems with what it considers detail or noise with it's built in pre-processor for high iso. Some times it will add noise to simulate textures in darker areas even in full sunlight,

That's adjustable in the menu. (See page 55 in the camera manual.)

The KP is not quite the K-S1 level of lower quality, however it needs work.

Sorry, don't understand what you mean by this? Sounds you don't like the K-S1. For a budget camera I find it exceptional!

If PU controlled its own advertising I'd over-ride ad block for the site. Given its Google in control there's no way I'd do that and consequently I don't see any ads. I'd have thought PU plus members would be ad free automatically; sounds not.
For some sites I've had to install an anti ad block blocker! Getting daft.

That's why I couldn't find it in the bees! Having compared it with other photos of that I agree. Thank you.
They say it's often mistaken for a bee!
