Be it a 35mm or 28mm it would work on the K-1 in manual metering mode with the green button. I suppose as to how well would depend on the eyes of the beholder!

Mine certainly hasn't been overly used as really I've got too many cameras now, what with those and several Q's, an MX-1, a K-m and a K-5 and even a K-01 (not to forget a Theta as well) At least several have been moved on along the way (a K100 and a GX20 and dare I say an EOS300D.) So none get the chance to become worn out!
Regarding servicing a perfectly performing camera, I'd go along the lines of if it isn't broken don't fix it in case it comes back worse than when it went in. If it has issues or has been really heavily used those are other matters that may make it worthwhile but I'd probably just get another new one (or use another I've already got!)
Hope you have a great journey.

Look out for that offer in case it comes round again as £25 was a really good price for a decent 128Gb card.

What speed are the Grixx cards? My Sandisk is class 10 80MB/s 533X so much the same as its larger cousins. (I'm wondering if the K-3 can't write to your cards fast enough.)
I'll try the Sandisk tomorrow but can't believe they'll be a problem with it (but if there is I guess it would be useful to know!)
Can you read normal SD cards in your tablet? If so could be another option.

I get somewhat annoyed being asked to review something the moment you receive it. I reply to the effect 'ask me in a couple of months' - they never do.

The hardest part is taking the camera to bits. Then the problem is a permanent magnet that slides between the two copper coils shown. It sticks and the solution is to sand a bit off, but no one has indicated which bit????

The article does seem to confirm that the magnet is the problem.
I wonder why the repair is so expensive???? No parts needed.
