Personally I think the best way forward for Ricoh now would be to do more lens collaborations with Tamron (and maybe others) to get the glass out that people want and also concentrate on getting AF up to speed because despite what others may say it's hurting Pentax sales badly especially when virtually every review you read mentions it as a problem.
I recently picked up the k1 mkii at the photography show and was stunned at how slow it was overall, by the time I had clicked a frame off I could have taken around 30 frames with the Sony. They really do need to work on the speed aspect it's not just AF speed, why didn't they use the latest high-speed UHS-II SD cards? Or why did they stick to USB 2 port? Or even increase the buffer beyond 17 frames and that's before the pathetic frame rate speeds.

This is what is crippling Pentax, I would love to get a Pentax FF the build and ergonomics are excellent but I'm not shooting landscapes so it's just not an option for me at this time.
Sorry but I too have to agree with these comments.. All these could have been fairly simple upgrades to the K1 ii.. Not the
pixel shift improvement..


As far as lenses go I also think there wont be large numbers released. Mainly because the DSLR market is dwindling for all manufacturers.. Still many K1 users are using film lenses. Being deterred by new lens costs.


Ricoh / Pentax have totally missed the boat in the video market. Which will also deter sales.. I am very much at a loss to see where the company want to go with there mission. But we have to give the company a chance. Having been very much mismanaged by its previous two owners, left insecure and unstructured.

Ive loaded it on win 10, but not connected my K1 as yet to try it out.. Looks like your writing the get going instructions Algi…


I think it will work great with my studio portraiture.. and lighting. Always better to see the shot in a larger way than the rear screen..


Does this mean were no longer dependant on Lightroom ?

I found the weight of it appalling at first, but when I realised how useful it was I decided it was worthwhile, and got used to it.
Ha ha me too...!!

It isn't an upgraded K1.. Its a K1 with a system designed for the KP added.. Which just seemed like a good idea at the time.. I would still settle for an off camera TTL flash trigger....lol

Another vote for the Tamron 28-75 f2.8 its a very compact, competitively priced lens. Especially in the second hand market. Very sharp, fast and light.
I now have the Pentax 24-70 on my K1 and I will say, you pay a lot of money for an extra 4mm at the wide end.. And you gain a lot of weight and WR of course... Though I found the 28-75 never quite wide enough for landscapes a fabulous portrait lens.... Only 67mm filter thread which helps !!
