Blurred photos could be camera shake but unlikely if in auto mode. More likely out of focus. Did you have manual focus set?
If you wish to post one of the affected photos it might help us diagnose the actual problem.

So you could scan the B & W photos from the magazine and convert them to colour!
I thought that might be a joke, however Google suggested this:So you could scan the B & W photos from the magazine and convert them to colour!

I was going through some of my Dad's old B&W photos of me (c.1959) so tried it on one of them:
The online program produced this which to me is a stunning achievement.
(sorry it's not a Pentax photo, he didn't have an SLR!)
The grass is green and the flesh is flesh colour. Sinply wow!

"Please calibrate your monitor so you can see 16 different shades from pure white to black."
Just adjust your monitor like you would your TV to meet that criteria. Each monitor will have its own instructions for how to go about that, or you may prefer to leave the monitor as it is and adjust the computer display card settings instead. Normally there's a wizard to help with that.
Don't over think it!

I find it handy to have the FF K-1 and other Pentax APS-C cameras that can natively share the same lenses and operationally share the same basic menu system.
Yes, why go down a sensor size when you were waiting for a larger one? Sounds bizarre.

I can't vouch for its condition, but a much more realistic price (>£200)

I said I can always crop it in my previous post. This is what happens if I rework it and do that.

Hand holding the camera for a 1/3 second exposure with a 75mm lens would be challenging to put mildly, even with shake reduction enabled!
Do you still get the problem out of doors in daylight?
