The better quality version of this same hand grip is available from

This all points out the most serious lack in Pentax DSLR equipment: a
pro-class body. I personally believe that Pentax has long made the
mistake of producing better lenses than bodies. The FA and DA Limited

Okay, remind me (us), Cotty.
What K1D conditions had to be met so you would eat your hat?
I'd say full-frame at 12 megapixels or more with AF and shutter
