Basically you flash the K-50 firmware 1.10 to your K-30.

Ah ok, obviously the MANY others have got better things to do with their time.

Now if he had said lense I could of understood.

Getting old or just a bit picky in these days of lockdown and social distancing?

Bit puzzled, if you left Pentax because you wanted full frame why did you move to a micro four thirds system?

Anyway, really depends on what you normally shoot ... wildlife and macro I would stick with Olympus for the reach, AF speed (not macro) and DOF (definately macro) they require but anything else then the K-1 and 24-70mm is an excellent starting point.

Welcome

My type of photography is mainly wildlife so I am always using either a macro lens or the 150-450mm on the K-1. I very rarely (never) use primes so I couldn't really compare it to anything I have in Pentax mount.

TBH I bought it on a whim, bit like you are doing ... to try a few adapted lenses. I even bought an adapter to try Pentax lenses on the M5 ... does the aperture as well.

DA* 50-135mm

I have a Voigtländer M mount 35mm f/1.4 NOKTON Classic I used on my Canon M5 with an adapter. If you are interested I could try and find it?

Must admit I didn't use it much, looking at the photos now maybe I should have given it a bit more attention.

Olympus users are used to a teeny weeny sensor so unless Ricoh bring back the Q I can't see them moving over myself

I know I would buy a full frame 1.4x teleconverter. To be honest I have no idea why 3 years after the K-1 it is still missing from the system.

Then you wouldn't be using the rear screen so why would you have it touch enabled?

All the latest DSLR's that have a touch screen (incl 90D and D500) have touch screens which are turned on/off with the liveview button as you only use them on a DSLR with liveview, there is absolutely no reason to have a sensor as there is no EVF. The only other use is to swipe through pictures and in menus but again you have to use a button to access them to begin with.

Unless I'm missing something?
