I own a K-70, and just got a great deal on a K1 Mark II (shutter count 1321), D FA 28-105 and D FA 150-450. I'm picking them up on Wednesday. Super excited! (And the battery grip for the K1 is currently half price at a local store. Pinch me.) Thanks for the video. Very helpful. Watching it in chunks right now.

How are you liking the k1 iii compared to the k70. Im looking to jump back into pentax just trying to decide kf, k3iii or k1ii.
@Deetroiter Жыл бұрын
I have this exact combo...k1ii and hd fa 43mm 1.9 limited...and it's no joke. The capability of this lens and body duo is nothing short of spectacular. I've taken some photos that are handheld in near pitch black and the photos still came out perfectly sharp. Mirrorless cameras might be all the rage these days, but the DSLR k1ii is that old warhorse that rules the pastures.

I have a thing for my pentax k1000 and would love to use its 50mm F1.2 for a friend's wedding, the ability to switch from film to digital with the same lens just clinched it, I'm definitely going to pick up a K1 mk ii now!

A very informative video, nice work. The one bit of advice you give that I disagree with is to not really mess with the metering modes. There's a reason there's a dedicated button on the back panel. Prior to recently buying my K-1 II, I've been using it on my K-5 IIs for years. The metering mode is under the mode dial there. My advice to anybody is to pick something in your house to shoot, preferably near a light source. Take shots in all 3 metering modes, and it becomes pretty obvious how they behave. It's really not exactly the same result you get by playing with exposure compensation.

Great video and great channel. Having started out with a K1000 in the very early 90’s, I sadly moved to Canon when I could not avoid digital any longer in 2005. It looks like the glorious K1 is about to change that…

I have the K1 Mk 2 and K70. I love them both. Great for Astrophotography. All they need is a modified filter to let more red light in for better deep Sky Nebula photos. I hear they are thinking about it. I will definitely get one if the do.

Good review, although one often forgotten feature missing. With Wifi, you can remotely control the camera with constant control of the image. Not going to be the main way to operate the camera, but can still be helpful in some circumstances (sort of super timer).

Thanks for the detailed tutorial, I am still using the K3 Gen1 after 8 long yrs. and it still rocks today ! since there are so many user settings on the K1, I wonder if there is a computer software to go with it for change settings via USB, better than to use the buttons and dials, also can keep multiple configuration for easy recall.

I have noticed that on most full frame cameras that they have both near and far micro lens adjustment for zoom lens so you can both calibrate both the close zoom and the distance zoom like a 70 -200mm lens . Does the K-1 let you do this ?

Buying into Pentax is pointless until their lens selection is more uniform and greatly expanded.
