Nice. I wanted a K1 until I realised how heavy it is. My poor old hands and wrists would not cope.
yes i use the 28-105 for the moment,looking for a better oneNice - love my K-1. Which lens did you use? The 28-105?
I'm a big proponent of people using what works best for them, regardless of brand. I've tried smaller and lighter, and quickly realized the cramped controls and tiny grip areas were the source of my pains. Despite the weight, my K-1 is the least painful camera I've used in years, it fits my hand like it was designed just for me. We have so many good choices for camera gear these days.
yeah ist heavy and bigNice. I wanted a K1 until I realised how heavy it is. My poor old hands and wrists would not cope.

not right,maybe the 24-70mmIMHO the 28-105 is a good value, solid for a general purpose "kit" lens. I keep mine to use in bad weather, to cover the range of my non-WR FA primes.
Do you have anything in mind yet for a new lens?
Contemplating the KP to replace my K5. Its even lighter than than the K5. Not full frame but... meh.yeah ist heavy and big

Confession: I was also contemplating the KP...
... But I can't afford their present prices and since I don't live in Australia, I couldn't really take advantage of the new discounted price which Pentax Australia is on the verge of offering. ...
It's winging its way towards me even as we speak or, rather, it's trucking its way (ground postage is cheaper) across the country to the remote part of Oregon where I live.
I hope it lives up to its reputation...as a worthy little brother (or sister) to the K-1. Which, coming back to the original postings in this thread, is from all accounts a serious and very very fine photographic tool.
