I am into macro and when you add tripod, head, ringflash sometimes, a 100 and a 200mm plus a body it is more than enough to carry... Saving 200g is important by definition.
I dont believe FF is for you anyway...
if you have problems with your physics when you use a K-1 you maybe should think about buying some high-quality compact thats good for macro... Or a M43 camera.
I would not suggest anybody below 70kg of weight to ride a Honda CBR1100... that just is not a good idea.
You have to live with the fact that the K-1 is just a professional FF DSLR like any other.
Pentax K-1 weighs app. 1kg.
Canon 1DXII weighs app. 1.34kg
Nikon D5 weighs app. 1.24kg
And if we are talking about a FF to come to replace the K-3II... I hope it will be also a professional model with 2 card slots, magnesium shell and for sure dont see the need to drastically reduce the weight, if we have to sacrifice anything for it.
But I am pretty sure, there will follow a professional APS-C camera and not a FF .. and since it will be a crop ILC... it will weigh something between 700-800g most likely.
And i guess there will also be a follow up to the likes of the K-S2 which sold quite well ... And to the K-70 which also was a very fine camera with the best bang for the buck possible.

I also miss lower ISO... (K-5II had something lower than ISO 100, I fancy)...
I think having ISO 50 would really make kinda sense for what cameras like the K-1 really seem to be made for.
(what would be Studio-Photography ATMHO... I know many people see it as THE outdoor camera which it also can be used as. But pixelshift only shines for product photography if you ask me...
and the very high resolution of 36MP is also made for product photography and it also really shines, if you use it for studio-portrait-shootings)
But I dont think that we have to give up ISO 25600 for it.
