I keep saying how impressed I am with your images and these again are superb. Well done again for such imaginative images.

Now just a suggestion, have you thought about coloured light ?

I like the first one, the walker adds depth to the picture. Agree withk10D the second one needs more isolation for the background.

I had to google the location. Looks a very interesting place.

Upgrade here. I'll probably get the new 50 first though.

I'm interested as to how Pentax now regard the K-1 line as a series. Perhaps they are thinking of a couple of more upgrades down the line. Anyone know how many K-1s are out there? Are there I dunno, 100,000 K-1 users worldwide that would hand over 500 to 600 Pounds, Euros, Dollars every year for incremental upgrades? The chassis being the base and everything else service upgradeable.
I really cannot see this as being a viable approach that consumers would go for. My K1 is just over a year old. If I were to take the upgrade to the K1II now, and in two years time Pentax offered another upgrade to K1III, my thinking would be to buy the new camera outright rather than keep a 3 year old "chassis" and upgrade it.

There is the shutter life and the life of many other things on the camera to consider too. I guess it may depend on what warranty Pentax would offer with the upgrade.

Where's the option to keep my K-1 and buy a K-II, or K-1 Mk II, or whatever its called?
They didn't put this much thought into the brexit referendum

You make a good point Rob, but I use the centre 9 focus points mainly as they help me narrow down what i want to focus on. Sometimes I use centre focus point only. I regard the default 33 AF points as akin to a blunderbuss approach to focus.

Maybe I am old school but tend to use focus and recompose a lot. Yes I have seen all the articles about how this means I am misfocussing because I am changing the camera to subject distance, but it works for me.

Occasionally and usually on a tripod will I use the SEL focus point menu to focus on a subject not in the centre of the frame. I cannot see me changing my habits if Pentax introduce 100 focus points. I usually just want to focus on one thing !
