Pentax K-1
Hi all,
So in another thread I've recently mentioned that I do wrestling photography in a lot of low lit venues. I am looking into full frame high ISO camera's and as I'm sure you can gather its quite a struggle trying to manage a budget when looking for something that will work.
Thus I have come to the Pentax K-1. It looks affordable, the ISO is crazy high (up to 204k), and lenses (although a bit sparse) looks a lot more affordable.
As a wrestling photographer, the only thing that is a little disappointing is the fps (5).
What I'd like is the pro's and con's of using the camera from people that own it or have used it themselves as well as the best wide angle lenses that you would recommend to use as a mount?
Again, your help is greatly appreciated.

Hi Chris,
Do you own a Pentax K-1?
Yes, had it for over a year now, whilst I don't shoot wrestling, I do shoot fast action, particularly military jets on the mach loop, I've had to use ISO's above 3200 to get a decent shutter speed for jets moving at 500mph ish in sometimes poor light or low light,
Pentax K1 - Pentax 24 - 70 F2.8 - 1600iso 1/8th Sec F4 handheld

That looks incredible. And I guess shooting over ISO 3200 gives you enough room to maneuver given that the higest ISO is over 200k.
How much was the lens if you don't mind my asking?
