What is your main subject matter, if you don't mind me asking?
Pre-lockdown I think I was taking about 10k shots per annum (many of those being a burst for moving subjects with a low keeper rate, admittedly).

Credit though for publishing an update for a camera of that age [K-5].
Saw the long list of cameras at Mike's link with the K5 present, but on closer inspection it is with v1.16 from March 2014!

Never-the-less hoping for a "D500" style AF update.
🤣
So, not having the 1.4x converter and in view of camera age, not expecting any noticeable improvement.

+ K-3 , I just did mine.
All those updates also improve stability and fix bugs.

What is the latest on (if I remember their names correctly) Alan Marlow and Asahi Technical - are they still working?
I seem to remember one of them didn't repair SDM lenses though.
Reports of others welcome too.
My FA50 has a sticky diaphragm and the zoom mechanism on my 55-300 has seized up.
