From what I can read on other articles in the net if you like to take more landscape and architecture type photo's a full-frame camera and lens is better suited. Where as an aps-c camera would be more suited to sports, wildlife and nature as you can get maximum detail at longer distances.
That being said, IMHO APS-c is the most versatile format. APS-c is better at landscape, than FF is at wildlife. IF it's choice, you can sell APS-c nature images. It's just way too hard to get FF wildlife images (at least in Pentax city, that's not at all true of the other major brands)., because of the slow frame rate and small buffer. At least in Pentax land. Canon has the 1Dx and Nikon the D4, which have great frame rates and buyers, and price tags. It's great when you do get them with an FF, it's just harder to get them with a K-1.
These days for me anyway the features I want are a nice solid build and WR.
What I take when I go out....
of the FA 50 macro, Sigma 70 macro, Tamron 90 macro and Pentax 100 macro, I usually take the 100 macro. It's WR, and it's the lightest of the group. But if it's going to be a one lens walk around I take the 50 macro. If I'm not going far and it's a bright sunny day, I like the Sigma 70 macro.
Based on my usage, my favourite is the 100 macro, if I was looking for a lens to also use for portraits it would be the Sigma 70 macro. The Tamron 90 macro, would probably be my only macro, if my wife hadn't decided it was hers. Buying the other 3 was completely a function of not having the Tamron and not wanting two copies of the same lens. But these are all great lenses. The Sigma is the heaviest and will give you the smoothest bokeh, but the others are within a hair of it.
But then most of my images are taken in the great outdoors. I'm sure a more indoor person would see this completely differently.
I generally only use sub ƒ2 lenses in the dark. I own 1, the FA 50 1.7, and it rarely gets used. Everyone should have 1. But I use it so rarely used it's hard to say I might like 2 or 3. Out doors, given a choice between 1.7 and macro, macro is needed more often.
