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.
Congratulations. The K-1 is a nice piece of kit, and I look forward to seeing what it can do in your hands. Although, I can't help but wonder if you'd be able to do more with your macros using the new K-p, the sample photos I saw showed it giving the K-1 a run for its money in high ISO, and it does have a smaller pixel pitch (24 vs 18 MP in APS). For just about everything else, except maybe long telephoto work, I expect the K-1 is still a much nicer camera though.
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... Mark
