What do you think you will do before the end of September cut off ?
Probably one of 5 things .....

1.Do nothing
2.Part exchange the K-1 for a MKII
3.Pay £450 to upgrade the MKI to a MKII
4.Sell the K-1 privately and buy a MKII
5.Sell the lot and take up fishing.

At the moment I'm leaning towards 1 but it depends on how good the AF improvements are.

that's the price to change... making the value of a excellent K-1 with less than 10k clicks £1100...
Yes but that's the trade price, SRS will add something before selling them on to the public. I would imagine 20% markup on used equipment.

Why not order one from Amazon and try it out?

If it's not for you just retun it.

They may just recall all the dealers K-1 bodies and turn them into the K-1 MKII.

You wouldn't be dissapointed, you would most likely go h*** f***** s***
Ditto if you just paid £1999 or succumbed to the recent offer of a K1 for £1749.
I wouldn't be disappointed, I would be bloody fuming.

That would be too easy, you forget we Pentax users are supposed to use "workarounds" rather than have new fangled AF modules and suchlike.

I mean, how did they manage to photograph fast moving Austin A40's in the pre autofocus days?
