Subject: Re: K-1 Enablement
I've been doing some macros lately using continuous lighting and am
hoping that doing them in Pixel Shift mode would make a difference,
though the level of detail is already pretty good. I have to say that
for macros some of the benefits of a full frame sensor are offset by the
need to achieve higher overall magnification so I considered the K-3ii
or the K-p which also offer pixel shift. But I think that the extra
megapixels and improved IQ from a full frame sensor will make it worth
while.
I also see the K-1 replacing my 6x7 for landscape work. While a have no
reservations about using the K-3 for landscapes I still prefer the
results from a 6x7 negative. From what I read the K-1 is a marvelous
landscape tool and I hope to put it to good use in that context as well.

Sounds good Mark, but I wonder what advantages do you expect of the
K-1 over the K-3?

Subject: K-1 Enablement
I finally bit the bullet and put in an order for a K-1 today. I went
with the 28-105 lens since the 24-70 overlaps so much with the Tamron
28-75 that I already have. I'm looking forward to seeing how the K-1
performs with some old film era lenses - the FA 50 f1.7, F28 f2.8, A*
200 macro, Sigma EX 70-200 f2.8 (1st generation) and FA 20-30 f4 zoom
in particular. I'm hoping that the first generation SIgma lens does
not have the mounting issue that the current version has (I found one
comment on Pentax Forums that said it did not, but you never know).
I'm not all that optimistic about the FA 20-35 but we'll see.
I've been doing some more stacked macros in the past couple weeks and
the tought that I could be doing these with a much more capable
camera than my K3 just got to be over bearing...
