"I already have this for my K3iii and it is amazing, I now have bought this for my K1ii and can't wait for a new moon. The ability to focus without touching the camera on the tripod makes for such a steady setup, it is a brilliant feature, I am still a novice with the editing but Pentax has opened up an area of photography that I thought was out of my reach by allowing me to use my existing camera gear and some software, so clever. Thank you Pentax"
