Maybe it's too obvious, but no-one has mentioned switching the camera off before changing a lens. I picked this up a long time ago from somewhere, I don't remember where.
I think I read that it lessens the electrostatic attraction of dust particles to the sensor with the power off.

The Pentax K1 has an excellent collection of features that will appeal to serious photographers, and it feels good in your hand. It makes a great choice for landscape and still-life photographers, but sports shooters should look elsewhere for a camera with a fast auto focus system and a higher continuous shooting rate.

How do users find the DC motor - does that aid faster (and more accurate) focussing?

Not yet stacking up to make an overwhelming case to upgrade.

I currently have the 16-45 but was wondering if the 16-85 is a worthwhile upgrade.
I have other lenses which cover the 45-85 range, so it is a case of weighing up WR benefits, focus speed/accuracy and IQ. The wide to moderate telephoto convenience is another factor.

I can see the possible advantages of the 16-85 being WR and having longer reach.
I note that some have said the build quality is superior to the 16-45.
However I would like to know about IQ and AF performance.
I can't see lots being written about the 16-85 - has the take up been low due to the wait for FF?

Prefixes: milli = m, mega = M
Unit of current = Amperes (or Amps) denoted by A.
mA = thousandths of an Amp
MA = millions of Amps
Therefore mA.h to denote the product of current & time, in relation to camera batteries (where h = hours).

Nothing wrong with the budget 50mm f1.8 and 35mm f2.4, if cost is a concern.
(Not that I am looking. Would like a K1 with better AF, maybe my arrow of choice points the opposite way to the O/P?)
