Pentax K-1

Ok I am a convert.  Got the Pentax K-1.
Especially I like the motto on the carton:

OUR PROMISE
Wish to be a companion to form important moments in your life. 
Alway with you.

Thank you for choosing Ricoh Imaging. 


Immediately got myself a nifty fifty.  
Which produces very very sharp and beautiful images:




Then later I chanced it - and got my self a "glugg" (lens) that almost cost as much as the camera, the 24-70, 2.8:
Which also produces extremely sweet and sharp images.



What I am most impressed with is really the handling. The camera house is appropriate for someone with tiny hands (I have glove size 6.5!).  I do not care so much about weight. 


 What is now missing is a nice wide-angle, an 85 mm and perhaps a macro of some sort, a couple of flashes and ... phew... a "självutlösare", whatever that is in English.


Photography is a ... PRYLSPORT...

Congratulations of your K1 purchase! My name is Chris, I have been very interested in purchasing a K1 along with the 43mm F1.9 for a walk around lens. My only concerns are AF accuracy especially in very low light situations, my focus being street photography particularly night street photos. Please what are your thoughts and experiences with the K1's low light focusing capabilities?
I would really appreciate any help in this area, thank you.

Dearest @Chris Bullock ... I cannot say much about that particular situation -- since I am not hovering around at night time (yet!!). However, I find that the 50 mm lens FA 1:1,4 does give me some of the sharpest nicest photos I have taken. Love the camera through and through - ease of use, etc.

@Chris Bullock - I can only now say - that THIS IS THE CAMERA of all cameras. At least for me.
Street and otherwise. GREAT buy.
