If one's not sentimental, sell the Pentax (sometimes for more than you bought it for, a few years ago) to buy a used Nik-non. Unless you have to go for the ultimate, bestest, most desired lenses, you probably come out ahead.
Of course, if one's intent on addition rather than replacement, yeah, those FA's will sit on the Pentax APS-C and film cameras while you start to spend dollars on the Nikkors et al.
But then, at the moment, full frame digital isn't necessarily a monetarily sane thing for amateurs anyway.
I'd love to have bought a Pentax equivalent of a D600, but on the other hand, I did want to experience life on the other side of the fence as well. Not to worry, I'm only buying used AF-D lenses and avoiding all those mega-buck whiz bang items. See, in case Pentax does eventually put out a camera I want...
