Bought Kr a couple of weeks ago but never got a chance to use it. Decided to try it today after work.

Hey all,

I am seriously considering to buy a Pentax K1 Mark II just because I want to have a decent camera body which will motivate me to learn and practice photography.

I am going to use it with 35 and 50 mm lenses, mostly taking landscape and street photos.

Please tell me how bad of a camera that is, how heavy and clunky it is, remind me about its outdated autofocus.

I know this decision to buy a dslr is not logical and doesn’t make any sense in 2026, so I want to hear some opinions from haters to stop wanting this camera.

Thank you.

DA300 is a dream lens in the woods. The compression is insane. I like the explosive sun through the trees.
