Again, if it’s between me and another person you may want to weigh their advice a bit more than mine as I’m still beginning.

I know there are some recommendations to not use lenses with built in stabilization.
What about image stabilization in the sensor like the one on Pentax K1 ? Will it affect the reconstruction ? Or the guidance refers only to lenses with built in stabilization ?
I think guidance refers to both (I.S. in lens or in camera) but it’s really kind of a ‘don’t use stabilization if everything else is perfect’ kind of scenario. Like I said, I’m buying a kit that has tons of stabilization as it’s better to have some focus breathing which I.S. can do than a blurry image. You can always turn I.S. off on the camera - you’ll find out pretty quickly if it has a major effect during testing.

Do you think that the Super resolution by sensor shift from K1 can help the reconstruction or it should be turned off ?
I would love to know the answer to this - best way is to test with it. I’d assume ‘it wouldn’t help’ but I really don’t know. Tripod shooting, manual focus, no I.S. would probably be a good start of settings with a sensor shift as it rules out other things that would muck up a reconstruction. I think you’ll have enough megapixels to play with without super resolution regardless - better to have an extra shot from a slightly different angle than a single shot with more pixels.

While searching for a wide angle prime lens for Pentax k1 I noticed that many have only manual focus.
Do you think it will be hard to keep the objects in focus without an autofocus lens ?
From my understanding, and my best shots, you want manual focus - specifically you want to get a good hyperfocal distance (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperfocal_distance) and tape the ring down. I do this even with handheld shots using I.S. and have gotten good results. Using auto-focus will still yield good results, but if you’re shooting at F11, it won’t be hunting for clarity that much unless the specific shot is extreme.
