Very nice. 1+4 for me, I especially like the pastel tones of the former

regarding the back-focus shall I live with the liveview then?
When you say the BF is not fixable. Is that because the camera does not recognise the lens, or because you have tried the +10 adjustment and it is not enough?regarding the back-focus shall I live with the liveview then?
If the former you can use a Global AF-FA which will apply to any lens mounted that does not have a specific "apply one" adjustment.

I really like this. Three of the corners are a bit dark, but otherwise I am impressed.

My old k10D did not have EC available in manual mode. This sounds perfectly logical to me. With the K1 you can use EC in Manual. It has the effect of altering the centre of the exposure meter so you still have direct control of the three exposure parameters. I don't use it.

Another super shot Don. Exposure, framing, focus, all spot on.

It is interesting to look at the second hand market for old Pentax lenses. The ones that hold their value well are the FA*85mm and the FA* zooms, the A-series green star lenses are extremely expensive. They are regarded as the best quality lenses of their time.
I think Pentax, by aiming for quality over quantity in the current DSLR/lens marketplace might just be the right approach.
