I upgraded to the KP from my beloved and abused K5 a couple of months ago, and at the same time got the 20-40 and the 55-300plm. I'm delighted with all three, and I'm normally a bit of a fusspot.
The KP felt very uncomfortable in my hand initially, very angular, but I've adjusted my hand's positioning on the camera and am now totally used to it with the medium grip.
The 20-40 is just what I need to accompany the Da15ltd for days in the mountains, a gap I've been struggling to fill for a while. It has proper ltd 'pixie dust', something which I missed on the Sigma 17-50 (and I'm sure all other normal zooms). It's also very light (yet quality metal), beautifully tactile and a joy to use.
Going off topic, the 55-300plm focussing is mindblowing. It's like switching to Canikon! I want the focus mechanism retro fitted to my dozy Da300*.
