Your lighthouse and rocks example is excellent.
Having discovered how to add the lens model as described in the OP, its the first thing I do after copying the images to the PC so they all get tagged. Long standing frustration solved as others seem to get the info included (Adobe subscribers) but I only got it for certain older lenses. ExifTool is updated regularly so seems to recognise new lenses soon after their release.

And ... what about Kodachrome so I can get some films sent off for processing!

Actually that's great news.

Is there any real advantage of a KP over a K-70, given the new camera is twice the price? I don't wish to do the company down, but personally I wouldn't have thought so. Conversely I feel a K-3ii would still be an upgrade over either of them (despite what they say) and that one is £400 less than the KP.
The K-1 is fabulous but not sure where they want to go with this new one. Will it end up being a white elephant like the K-01? (I appreciate the K-01 was a fine camera for what it is as the KP will be, but not at that asking price, it needs to be less than a K-3ii.)

Someone asked that question here: https://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/58836221 The question was followed up with some useful comments
I wouldn't have thought there'd be that much difference between them. Both will be a bit of a compromise being superzooms, though useful in some circumstances. It wouldn't be an upgrade, more or less the same but different! Both offer versatility over quality (not to say either are bad but neither are DA* lenses either!)

Are we now convinced that this is a follow up to the K-70, not the K-3 series? I'm sure the results will be no worse than a K-3, but it lacks some of the features, top LCD, dual card slots, GPS to name but three. Then it includes an onboard flash, albeit weaker than that on the K-70, but the K-3ii and K-1 abandoned that.
To say the KP is heir to the K-3 series is a marketing mishap, but with all the hidden trays and grips there's plenty of space to squirrel away your packs of nuts.

Quite true but the name implies being an heir to the KM / KR range of which it shares many similarities, i.e. button layout and no top screen. The real K-3 heir will surely have the features of a K-1 but with an APS-C sensor. You can't believe all what the marketing guys suggest!

Zenit (pronounced Zenith)?

Yes, users on here have supposedly done less and come off worse.

The DA*300 is a fine lens and is fabulous with the K-1. I suspect your FA*300 would have been too! Just to clarify should someone not familiar with Pentax be reading this, the DA*300 is most definitely compatible with the new body so not sure why you feel daft buying one, it's a fine lens on any body !
I agree though that the KP is chasing more the middle range market rather than a K-3 update. Mind, I don't think anyone has stated it is intended to be a K-3 update, quite the opposite. The K-3 was dearer than this on launch and that was well before the pound devalued. Of note is the parity in price of the KP between the UK and US. 1099 either side of the Atlantic, be it pound or dollar.
However it surely won't stop at 1099 any more than its predecessors have remained at the launch price. How can they appear to discount it if it isn't priced on the high side to start off with?
