Maybe try a .photo domain and have something like www.abstract.photo

Keep it short and simple

I agree, and would take that in to consideration if making an offer on a S/H camera. But if the camera is needed now and maybe the OP has set a spending limit then it may still be a viable option percy wrote:

It looks alright and the vendor seems to have decent feedback. I'm tempted myself but don't need another camera.

I see SRS are selling KS-2's on their ebay site for £349 new, better value than £310 used. However, I think that when the new K70 hits the shelves the KS-2 will drop even further, £300 or even less?I see there's a K-S2 body on ebay with an asking price of £310, but open to offers. link

Yes, that does seem odd - surely you'd be better off getting a k-5ii or a K-3 and a faster/higher quality lens. The Tamron 70-300 is great value for money but it's not going to be a lens best suited to BIF - likely to be worse than the Pentax 55-300 you had previously.1stEverPentax wrote:
Slightly surprised that you jumped back in with the same or inferior equipment to what you'd struggled with in the past!
Would have thought you might have gone for a good used K5II or even a K3?

36MP would be great but believe if the lens I'm using on a K-1 at the time isn't full frame, then I'd get about the same as the K-3?
Crop mode on the K-1 gives approximately 16MP (about the same as a K-5), not 24MP.36MP would be great but believe if the lens I'm using on a K-1 at the time isn't full frame, then I'd get about the same as the K-3?
A full frame sensor has about 2¼ times the surface area of APSC.

Thanks for the responses, Lenny, Percy and Bill.
I've been just hugely impressed with the GR sensor. In DSLR land I jumped straight from the K5 to the K3... missing out the K5iis. I'm now thinking I missed something a bit special...
But sad to say I just don't get to use mine enough
