The K-1 will be heavier than a K-5IIs (a little over 30% heavier) so definitely give the K-1 a test run before purchasing if weight was the reason..
We've been beset with health-care bills for several years, so my ride has been a bizarre roller coaster of
acquisition/bills/dump//repeat. Since I wrote my original post my wife was in the hospital w/double pneumonia for 3 days, I broke a tooth then fell to a similar virus, got a new crown, and now my wife's dental bills are coming up. Oh yeah we owe the IRS a bit too
Just before all that we'd refinanced the heck out of our home, and bills were just getting cleaned up.
The 'good' news is my 59½ birthday is coming up, the IRA can clean up our debts. A lousy use for it but we have some padding there.
More will need to happen (more
good stuff not what's been going on!) for any K-1 to appear though.
edit - as for weight, it will be a bit of an issue. I won't be adding any f/2.8 zooms, but elderprimes would be a fine match.
