Quality is top notch, happy with everything.

Historically, since 1999 I have been shooting with pentax equipment. First there was the mz-5n camera, then the k10. Now decided on k1. With k10, there were initially problems with white balance and focusing, which were resolved after a visit to the sc. K1 liked me from the first picture. Brightness, natural colors, a huge number of settings and ergonomics. You can use old optics. Shooting full frame is more natural in terms of composition. Haven't tried astrogide yet.

Pros

Picture quality. White balance, color rendition is very pleasing. No matter what they say, but a full frame is a full frame. You don’t have to move 10 meters away from the subject to get everything into the frame. Pretty fast autofocus. Ergonomics are top notch. Very comfortable to hold, logical control. Lots of settings. Two slots for a memory card. Selective recording at the touch of a button in raw format. Very quiet camera. Compared, for example, with canon, it works almost silently. The list goes on. :)

Cons

Still, it's heavy. I took with a 28-105 lens for travel. After a while, you realize that you have a significant burden on your shoulder. From 24-70, it will probably be unbearable. The battery is still weak. Even without live view mode, it ends pretty quickly. Photos are recorded in folders by day. It would be more convenient to just write to the shared folder. Transferring a photo to a phone via wifi is very slow. After the purchase for the lens, I had to set the autofocus correction at level 7. (front focus). Focus sometimes misses.
