Pentax has been teasing its first full frame DSLR for months now, and the latest word is that it’ll be arriving in the spring of 2016. If shadowy teaser photos and sample shots aren’t enough for you, check out these new leaked product photos and specs.

A view of the back of the K-1 also reveals what appears to be a 33-point autofocus system (the K-3 has 27 points), but the exact number of points hasn’t been confirmed.
