A straight swap with a 43mm LTD would be a bit mad. Your K-1 is worth around £800+ ... the 43mm would be about half that.

Quite happy to go and buy a used 43mm and swap though

Edit : I have a lovely 60-250mm f/4 if you would rather that

Does it have same issues with SDM,?
No SDM issues at all.

Unlike the 16-50mm and 50-135mm the 60-250mm rarely had problems with the SDM.

Cheers Peter, only selling it because I managed to find a Pentax 70-210mm f/4.

Works well with the Pentax 1.4x, unmodified for the K-1, I saw very little point in doing it.

A few direct from china, quite expensive thou, presume you've tried Google ?
Yup, I can find one in Germany but the postage costs as much as the eyecup

Looking for an eyecup for a Pentax K-1 sure I have one somewhere but for the life of me I can't find it. SRS seem to be out of stock as do all the other dealers (apart from Bristol Cameras but I don't believe anything they say).

Thanks.

The only criticism I have is the border (but then I just hate borders).

Interesting picture, nice and sharp, lighting is great and totally different to what I thought when I read the title.

The K-5II and K-5IIs had the best sensor noise wise of any crop camera previously/at the time/since in my opinion. The K-5IIs was just a tiny bit sharper due to the lack of a low pass filter.

If only Pentax could have done decent autofocus at the time they would have had world domination.

Well, a few more sales at any rate.
