Pentax K1 Full Frame Camera

I pre-ordered through a friend who knew the distributor in Vietnam.  He flew back for the Labour Day long weekend and flew back on the 4rd of May 2016 and I collected the camera that night.

My initial view of the K1 is that it is bulkier and much heavier than the K3 APS-C camera and the grip is well contoured to have all the 4 fingers around it, unlike the K3 where the pinky finger is hanging off the camera body.


The first lens that I attached to the K1 was the FA31mm F1.8 Limited, as I wanted to see how it worked with the K1.
It had a nice feel to it as the camera seemed to balance out and I could shoot with one hand.
It is now day 4 with the K1 and I tried the K85mm F1.8 as well as the Chinon 50mm F1.4 on the K1.  Awesome!  I will need to bring the K1 to school and try out with the various lenses that I have.
