Well yes that is the nature of the beast. It is also a plus for many that want a narrower DOF.

But I would suggest that using a larger sensor will yield better results for landscapes due to increased resolution; increased dynamic range and lower noise. Your K1 should knock spots off most aps-c cameras for landscape work. Imagine a landscape scene with a tree line at 100 metres away. A FF camera with a 35mm lens compared to an aps-c camera with a 24mm lens (thus identical field of view), both set to f11 will yield a difference of just 4 metres greater DOF on the aps-c camera.
And given that K-1 has larger pixel sites, the K-1 will be less diffraction limited.

Same pixel sites as the K-50, Norm, but fascinating to see you stick up for FF vs APS-C, you've changed, dude!

K-50, what's that? People still shoot with those cameras?
I've had my K-3 for so long I almost forgot all APS-c bodies aren't 24 MP.

You shoot so much wildlife, you'll always have a K-3 or KP or whatever ready anyway.

People who shoot medium format for landscapes tend to use whatever aperture is sharpest and then do focus stacking. The 645z gives better color depth, dynamic range, and resolution compared to the K-1. Many of the lenses are quite expensive, but seem to be of excellent quality.

The biggest thing to me is that people who shoot MF typically know what they are doing behind the camera and have a vision that they are trying to achieve and that comes through.

Or at least they have more money than me...
