The 'best' lens; the 'best' camera; the largest megapixel. Meh. As others have said on this site, the camera is the tool, it's the person behind the lens it that makes the picture.
To me, Pentax works, does what it says and is completely fit for (my) purpose.

Francis......welcome.
Perfect time for you to get yourself a Pentax K1 II (I use the version I). You list some nice lenses in your post. I own the two M series lenses you mention and regularly post K1 shots with them. Get them back into service on a format (size wise) they were designed for.

LV is slower focussing than through the viewfinder. How much longer does it take to focus ?
Random dark images sounds like aperture block failure.

All nice but the first gets my vote.

Hi. My K3 with fewer than 20k shutter movements gave up recently. Have sent it to Pentax via SRS Microsystems who are awaiting news from Pentax. Apparently they won't allow spares for 3rd party repairers. Anyone else had this problem? Camera worked in the morning and wouldn't switch on in the afternoon. Gutted.
If so I would be wary about letting anyone who wasn't the official repair company fix your camera. I know the repair will not be cheap, but at least you will get a warranty on the repair from Pentax. You are doing the right thing going back to SRS. They are the best Pentax retailer in the country and will do their best to help you if they can.
I hope you get a solution that is not too costly.
