Bear in mind the K-5 isn't KAF4 compatible, so the latest lenses with electronic aperture control aren't fully compatible (they'd only work at maximum aperture).

The lens alone can be fun if you want a very compact camera without protruding lens like for events or street photography. It is the ultimate , newest pancake lens...
The K-5 is a 16 Mpixels camera from 2011 and hence , sensor low light performance, autofocus etc will be good but bit less than your KP, especially if pushing it in low light or cropping of image, so it depends a bit on your expectations.
Price wise the deal is ok, both items used, value the same amount roughly....the longterm value of a limited series is always guessing and personal matter.
