I am absolutely satisfied with my current lenses. The problem is that K-3 II is overpriced here. Thats why I have started thinking of buying the same class camera from another brand.
I can tell you one thing. Yes, you may pay some more upfront for the body, but in end, it's still going to be way cheaper staying with Pentax, provided you have about 5 or more Pentax lenses.
Now, if getting Pentax lenses & bodies are more costly in Russia than doing the same with Nikon, then it would make more sense to unload your Pentax gear & get some Nikon gear.
It basically depends on how much Pentax glass you have & how much you are willing to pay into either system. If I were in your shoes, my jump to Nikon would be if I had 5 or less Pentax lenses. Once you go over 5, it gets more costly to switch systems when replacing your glass with equivalents. You're basically committed to the system you already have.
