It's a fine lens, very sharp and well made. Perhaps its best characteristic is
that it is almost as sharp wide open as it is stopped down. If you want to

"Don't know what happened here. I meant to say, my K-1 goes to auto ISO only in
TVR exposure mode."
Paul, every Pentax DSLR I've owned has come with Auto ISO as the initial
setting (*ist D, K10D, K20D, K-5, K-5II, K-5IIs, and now K-1).
Anyway, I think now I've got it licked.

As far as I can tell, the manual does not say how to turn off Auto ISO. I've
had no trouble like this in previous Pentax DSLRs that I've owned. Odd that in
a professional-grade camera, there is no easy way to turn off a feature

I'm surprised that the autofocus seems sluggish compared to my K-5II and
K-5IIs. I use central-point af on all my cameras.

Every new Pentax camera has more features, larger menus, and more sub-menu
options, but the manual never gets any clearer. The biggest problem is the
index, which has an inscrutable approach to naming things that I have questions
about. I find Pentax's indices virtually useless for finding
I am expecting my K-1 to arrive later today. Can someone tell me if Photoshop
CS6 will recognize PEF files from the K-1? Or should I shoot in DNG format?

"The price of the K-1 has not dropped from the initial introduction, it
has increased instead. Its almost $200 from the initial $1800 or so
that it was several months ago"
The word is that this was due to the appreciation of the dollar relative to the
yen.
I had a little money come in, so

Check eBay. Last spring from eBay I got an AF 160 FC from a seller in Japan,
priced much lower than the price at B There was no problem with the
transaction and it arrived quickly. The manual included English.

The 62 mm. filter size make me suspect that it is made by Tamron. Tamron
routinely uses that size, whereas Pentax has never (or never before) used that
diameter.
