I'll be getting a body and grip for Christmas. Just have to get a couple of primes first (77 & 100 for definite and perhaps something in the 50 range)
The K1 has got me thinking about primes too - will be like my early days when I used a 50mm for just about everything!

What's a K1 ? Did it come out before the K2 in which case I missed it and went straight to a K2

My next camera will be a K*

Perhaps they'll be some special offers later in the year,
Hopefully - and some good trade in deals.

but wait two years and the next ultimate camera will come along
I know - but hopefully this spec will keep me content for a long time!

thats what a lot of people are saying but I love my optical viewfinder!

If you have the money and a passion for photography, go for it. The K-1 is a lovely bit of kit.
good advice

I won't be going for it - there's no way I can justify it. I am more than happy with my K-5iis, and the only real problem I get is because of my shortcomings - not the cameras. I'd rather spend the money on (gradually) getting better glass.

I went into SRS the other day to buy a new lens, the Tamron 70-200 F2.8, and resisted the temptation to even look at the K-1, because as you all know - "never say never!"

good advice too!

I'm seriously thinking about buying a K1 possibly later in the summer if funds are available. The reason why is because I'm starting to think this is 'the' camera I've been waiting for - the camera to end all cameras so to speak! If I could have designed a camera with all of the features I wanted it would be pretty much like the K1. I'm sure I'd be pretty content with its features for many years to come whereas up to now I've considered upgrading every two or three years.
I know many people will be happy with the kit they have now. But some will be considering the K1.
What do we think?

What you should also find is resale prices of the Pentax lenses should stay high if you decided to sell any of them.

Great shots guys. Nigels no 1,6 & 8 show the scale of this amazing building! Love David's mono shot too!

I should have mentioned that the image sync app also allows the main controls to be used remotely as well. I can see this being especially useful for studio work including macro when sharp focus is critical.
Sounds great! - one thing I've always wanted on a Pentax camera is good tethering ability.

I brought a cheap Chinese one for my K100d a while back - it wasn't any more then £20 but was a decent well made item for the money. I can't remember where exactly I brought it sorry - would have been off eBay I think. It worked well apart from the spot metering as Andrew mentions above. I would'nt buy one again though - I tend to use live view zoomed in or the focus confirmation bleep!
