Thanks for the info Alan and others going myself on the 25th. So finding all this very helpful.. I cant decide on longer slow lens Sigma 150-500 or the lighter 55-300.

Looking forward to seeing the images and hearing about your experience Stephen..

Ah, Thanks for the replies. As I suspected... No real trigger options. Let's hope the K-1 really takes off and the Yongnuo and Godox's of this world start to support our products.. Till then I'll just stick with a manual system..

Just a quick question with the regard to off camera flash. I have a Pentax K5ii and a af540fgz. I can use the flash gun off camera in TTL mode. By triggering the unit with the K5ii's pop up flash. I'm thinking of upgrading my camera as I want more mega pixels so I can enjoy better crops. Hopefully. But as the K3ii or the K1 dont posses a pop up flash. How is the remote flash unit triggered ? Do I have to purchase another flash gun ? If so which one. I'm not aware of any TTL triggers on the market. As Yet. Or just shoot with manual flash guns ? I'm puzzled.....

Greetings..... As one of the few remaining K7 owners I think its a wonderful camera..Unless you need to shoot in low light... A very underrated model in my opinion...

The Sigma DG ST flash Is a very capable flash on camera. Perfect for parties and events. Capitalizing on its TTL functions. But your right it will have limitations off camera... If your looking to do some portraits Off camera. It would be my recommendation to buy a cheap manual flash. Yongnuo YN560 and cheap trigger and receiver. Around £60.. In my opinion once you have mastered the skills of manual flash the results are more rewarding...

Very nice images. Well done..

Don't forget state tax has to be added to US purchases...

Just noticed the price announced at $1799. which makes it very competative against other full frame manufacturers...

As a Man City fan.. Forgive me but in image 2 of the statue. I only remember Peters Hurst and Moore. Who's the fourth member ?

First class images....
