Review: Excellent ergonomics and awesome build quality. - I have loved Pentax cameras for over 40 years - approaching 45. My first serious camera was a Spotmatic F and it had the best ergonomics of any camera available at the time. Build quality was excellent, and the lenses were legendary. I had 10,000's of pictures through a pair of Spotmatics used at sport events for the local newspapers, AP, action, portrait, weddings, and college parties and high school graduations (you get the picture, no pun intended). Pentax was late to the game for serious digital photography, and I was no longer working as a professional, so I indulged in some Canon Powershots that were good - but never felt exactly right. A couple of years ago I got a Pentax K3 II, for a number of reasons (including shooting my kids sporting events and some serious overseas travel) and fell in love all over again. My K mount lens collection grows, and I really miss my old 85mm f1.8 portrait lens, but the quality of modern zooms is amazing. The ergonomics are stellar, as before. In legendary Houston flooding and 1" an hour storms, the K3 weather sealing held up just fine as did the lenses that claim weather sealing. I decided to go for the K1-II as there is finally a full frame camera with the Pentax ergonomics, weather sealing like the K3, and improved pixel shift. I will simply say that the quality is outstanding. Comparing night time 6-man football photographs (I swear the lighting is a couple of 100 watt bulbs at either end of the field) between the K1-II and K3 you can see the lower noise and higher quality of the K1-II. Putting the K1-II in APS-C mode means you give up full frame, but the improved sensor still gives higher quality than the K3. Another plus for action is your 300mm lens becomes 450mm using APS-C mode, and at the same time the sensor gives better results. It's a win all the way around. As for battery life, I used my 2 year old batteries from the K3 in the K1-II just to test. A full night of shooting, over 300 photos, and the battery still had not gone down 1 notch. I call that impressive. The K1-II can hold its own against any camera. The first photo (players in white and blue) was made using the Pentax K1-II and Pentax 55-300mm zoom lens at 108mm, 1/400 sec, f4.5 using APS-C mode. ASA 25600, that is twenty-five thousand six hundred. The second photo (two blue players) is the K3 II, same lens, 115mm, 1/640 sec, f5.6, ASA 25600. No retouching or cropping. Lighting on the (same) field is minimal. The lower noise on the K1-II is apparent.
Review: If you're serious about your photography, and followed Pentax, but just not sure....this is it - I've been a lifelong follower of Pentax products, for many years I lugged around my 6x7 film Pentax camera....and loved every minute of it. Pentax has always offered a competitive line of photographic hardware that is on par with competitors in terms of quality, but at a much more affordable price. I bought a K-30 back in 2014 and it was my first DSLR. I was challenged a bit to learn all the digital technology that came with it, but once I got over the hump, I was no longer intimidated ....it made sense. In time I came to realize I needed more resolution to make my work the best it could be....but what to do? I knew the K1 was out there, but it was a fairly steep selling price....and was it worth it? After years of research and hesitation I took the plunge...and I cannot understate how pleased I am with this move. The images the K1 produces are exceptional. Unbelievable resolution to the point where I find myself wondering if my K30 will be of much use at all. I do plan on using the K1 for most work, with the K30 as a secondary resource to minimize changing lenses out in the field, but the K1 is hands down my go-to camera for the foreseeable future. If you find yourself wondering if this a worthwhile expense...... and you're serious about your photography..... do it.... you won't regret it.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Do 10 year old K1 lenses still fit the new K1**
A: All lenses with the Pentax K mount made in the last few decades (I'm not sure when the started the K mount system--the '70s? The '60s?) will fit the Pentax K-1 and earlier cameras. The only difference in the modern K mount lenses and vintage K mount lenses is in the capabilities of the lens itself. In other words, most K mount lenses produced today are capable of allowing for autofocus and programmed modes such as full-auto exposure, aperture-priority, shutter speed priority or full manual control. Most, if not all DSLR cameras made today can be used in all of these modes, provided the lens allows for it, but, unlike most major brands (which changed their mounts), all Pentax cameras that use the K mount can be used with vintage K mount lenses, though limited by the auto capabilities of the particular lens. For example, I have lenses I bought 30+ years ago for my Pentax P-3 35mm film camera that was capable of full-auto program, aperture priority, shutter priority or full manual modes, but not autofocus, so I can use these lenses on my modern Pentax cameras with any of the program modes, but they don't have autofocus capabilities, so focusing has to be done manually (which I usually do, anyway). The same holds true for any vintage K mount lens, even older basic, totally manual lenses made for even older 35mm film cameras, although if the older lens was not made to have automatic functions, your modern camera's automatic functions will not operate, but you can still use it by manually setting all parameters, like "real" photographers did "in the old days".

This can be very useful if you come across an older 35mm camera with extra lenses in a yard sale or pawn shop, because you can get some very nice, long or specialty lenses that you can use (if you know how) at a very cheap price and just toss the film camera. (However, if you're buying old lenses, just be sure to check well for scratches and mildew growth inside the lens.)

**Q: Why does it say it has aps-c crop mode with k mount lenses?**
A: ASP-C cameras have a smaller sensor 1.5x than a full sensor camera which has the same size sensor as the old 35mm film frame 24 x 36 mm full frame  The K 1 and K 1 II allows you to use a crop mode to simulate the ASP-C size sensor if you want

**Q: is this a USA model?**
A: Yes, this item is Sold by and Ships by Amazon.com.  Therefore, it is an authorized USA product.

**Q: Is the raw file on this camera compatible with Photoshop CS5?**
A: Yes!  I've been using  Pentax cameras since 1994 and never had any problems with Photoshop software.
