+1 for KP II though I highly doubt any release is in the pipe. K70 replacement is due for a long time and a 3 model APSC portfolio sounds too much for today's market

Congratulations for this purchase. I miss my copy I had to sell 2 years ago but this lens is just too heavy for my practice of photography

I wonder how AF will behave with a 600/5.6 reached with a converter
Not too optimistic about the result

I would not recommend to do it.
Years ago I did that with my k-x, not that I knew I would leave it for 18months without usage but due to a baby coming in and RX100 getting more time I left it stored with charged batteries.
When I came back to use it k-x was not responding at all. Exchanges with pentax led to an electronic/motherboard type of impairment ; fixing it would have been more expensive than market value of this old K.
That is when I started hunting for a KP...

- First congratulations for the long awaited K3iii and related success
- Is KP2 a realistic "hope" few years from now once K70 is updated ?
- long telephoto for APSC ? 150-450 is great lens but just too heavy ...

quite a big gap, too big I would say.
Even if K3iii price goes steadily down to 1500USD and K70ii is introduced at maybe 700USD it still leaves a lot of room for those who can not afford new Apsc flagship...
Unless they plan to release a stripped down FF around 1000-1200 USD ...

I doubt it, Pentax is too "Japanese" for that kind of strategy...

I am thinking about buying one, so far I used a charged spare to swap when needed in the day. I guess I would mostly need this d-bg7 3 to 4 weeks per year which makes purchasing price quite steep for limited use. Most of the time I enjoy the small form factor of my KP but when in the mountains I would need more autonomy. Also I shoot a couple of kids play dates per year and not worrying about batteries and whether they are properly charged is a big plus when shooting 1000 pics in an afternoon...

Within euro zone and even in the UK, KP was discounted around 700 EUR quite a few times over the last 2 years. Some here probably paid even less than that when purchasing attractive bundles

In the shoes of Sigma, I would put some money on the Pentax table to strengthen my bodies business. I am long this idea for at least 4 years, it is time now for it to happen :D

Don't forget KP was "hated" when out in 2017 if I am not mistaken. Everyone was waiting for a K3ii successor and had more in mind than KP was bringing at that time. I honestly admit I was part of these negative ppl criticizing battery life, lack of a second memory slot etc
Then in 2019, due to a slow start, pentax heavily started discounting KP which faster adoption rate. I bought my black one for 2019 summer holidays and I noticed in these forums that many customers did the same over last 2 years, taking advantage of offers in the 700-800 USD region. Large number of these clients, including myself, are so satisfied with their KP that they dont have K3iii in mind anymore...
I come from k-x and K5ii and KP is a net improvement and fulfills all my current needs on top of a likeable design. I would hesitate to buy a 2000 USD K3iii with high specs, but would gladly put at least half of that for a KPii.
My understanding of all of this now is that Pentax messed up with initial KP pricing and this "K3ii successor" storytelling. Would it have been introduced at 999USD and selling in the 700-800 early in its lifecycle, this very capable body could have been a tremendous success for Pentax...

K70 needs to be refreshed too so it is a kill two birds with one stone
