In 2015 I finally updated my camera to a used K 5 II to prepare for a " once in a life time " vacation. It served me very well
In August of 2016, I got a new K 3 for another " big " vacation
so now I have the K 5 II as a back up or when I want access to two lenses without changing out, I have both with me
now I am looking at whether I should find a used K 3 or K 3 II and " retire " the K 5 II. ( there is Xmas and my birthday approaching, don't you know )

to be honest, there isn't much more I
should do regarding more lenses. [
could do is always a possibility if I find a good deal
]
I have replaced 100 % of the lenses I had in 2015

I have looked at the K 1 and I am not sure I want one,
I certainly am not all that thrilled by the Full Frame aspect since I have a number of DA and DA L lenses which might be limited on the F F camera.
However it is
more advanced but
heavier by almost 1/2 a pound and I hand hold heavy zooms already

Originally posted by savoche I have received plenty of hand-me-downs over the years . . . Now I'm the more active photographer and it's time to reciprocate
my son currently show no interest in photography
he graduated college in 2016, started his career and got married in July - so I guess it is ok that he is concentrating on other things
for now
and there are other ways of passing on equipment that I have outgrown.
