Plus the K3 is much cheaper than the K1....hmmmm
The KP looks like a good choice too for an APS-C
The KP could be a good choice. People argue it isn't all it should be as it isn't a K-3 iii but it might be just right for your use. I believe results in low light will be better than 80D; will this be helpful for you?

Originally posted by GUB I did this thinking a year or so back. I had a K01 (16mp apsc). My logic was that the FF was kinder to these old lenses because the image from the sensor does not need to be enlarged so much. And that is certainly the case. But another consequence of going FF is that your dof is relatively a lot thinner - and a lot of the lens that I could use wide open and reap the advantage of a circular aperture in bokeh quality in the K01 was simply not practical with FF. As soon as you stop down the shape of the iris kicks in and effects the bokeh.
Well, this could still be accomplished by using the K-1 as it is but then using it in crop mode when that will be advantageous. Certainly, the K-1 costs more than either K-3 or KP and some would cry heretic for using the K-1 in crop mode.. I suggest this idea to Durf he could use the old wide angle lenses for wide field of view as well....

Durf, I think he means it would be like grafting an azalea onto a kudzu (I am from SC)
