The low viewpoint of the bike is brilliant. Love the coastal view that follows it as well. Those are my highlights from this nice set of images.

Pentax seem to think so: https://www.pentaxuser.com/forum/topic/full-frame-teaser---spring-2016--54702
I've just seen the Pentax "teaser" for the FF body, which made me think...if I did go for it, what lenses did I already have that were definitely designed for full frame?
SMC Pentax-FA 43mm f/1.9 Limited would be my standard lens.
SMC Pentax-D FA 100mm f/2.8 Macro would be my portrait lens.
HD Pentax-D FA 150-450mm f/4.5-5.6 would be my birding lens.
I would need a new wide angle, but I could manage quite a bit with just those lenses. I've not counted DA lenses that are reputed to be full frame, as I'm sure new versions will appear in due course.
What would your lens status be?

This is getting a bit silly, don't you think? Please stop now before it get totally out of hand.

Not an issue with digital sensors, but it's definitely an issue with very long exposures on film.

It's for the remainder of this week, hopefully giving everyone enough time to check their archives and upload an image.
The delay isn't ideal, but it couldn't be helped, so we make the best of it!

I've just tried it and went straight in without any problem.

Feedback is fine, but personal attacks are not and PMs should definitely not be published publicly. PM stands for Private Message and I'm sure that Marat already knows this.
I think now we should stop commenting and the only additional comment that would be helpful in closing this off would be from the actual buyer.

It's nice to have the choice, different models excel at different things.
I too use the MX-1 extensively and it excels at general shots and macro in particular. The Q-S1 kit is the fun kit for experimentation, but powerful in its own right for say concert shooting and surprisingly competes with the DSLRs very well.
The K-5 is the kit for the best quality, no doubt about that, so for weddings, paying work in general and serious trips to places where photography is guaranteed to be the main purpose.
