I am due for an upgrade

Good day

This is my first post.
I have my old friend K10D since 2008 it is still working and hard solid as a rock. but now is the time to give myself a better and up dated camera.
i just have the kit lens 18-55W and 70-300 sigma. Do i get a new body or update my lens???

always the lens, then the body....

but with body like K5 and K5II dropping in price like fire sale, is a good time to pick up body too.

+1 on this, bodies come and go, good glass is for life, well so far that is with Pentax.

Welcome welcome!
I would upgrade both

See if you can find a good deal on a K5II or a K-50.
