Once my long lens list is settled I値l do new legs, heads, plates and a monopod.
My KP comes tomorrow, so I can just use my FA 31, can't I? The main reason I bought it was to use a DA 200 to shoot my Son's track and field events. That should give me plenty of reach. My lens is on its way, and should be here next Thursday. I really need a proper arca swiss plate since I am a heavy tripod user due to my fractured back. We find a way to keep doing what we love.

The only disappoint for me is that it's only rated to 100,000 clicks vs. the K-3ii at 200k of even the K-1 at 300K. That puts it in the K-5ii category for shutter durability. Nonetheless, Adam, Norm and others here are correct about the IQ: there is a discernible difference in the results and image quality between the KP and the K-3ii. I have the battery grip on the K-3ii, but chose not to buy the KP version as of yet because it's nice to have a small walkabout body and/or a back-up for the K-1 if you're on a shoot.
Please post some pics so we can see how you're working the KP.
That's good to know. I normally shoot with my K-1 for landscape. The KP is more of a single use camera, specifically to use with the DA 200 and DA 300 for my Son's sports. I doubt if I even come close to 100,000 clicks. And, for the price, it still seems like a value and a lot of fun. I do wish it was rated higher.

I can use my FA Limited lenses on the KP, can't I?
Thank you,
