That was actually my point. I generally don't see lenses for APS-C being lighter than their FF counterparts (of course I compared only a few). So I don't understand the disadvantage of FF that the lenses are heavier and more expensive. Maybe the sensor in FF is not so forgiving, and exposes lens flaws more than APS-C, and FF users tend to look at higher quality lenses. But common sense tells me that when you print it at the same size, the impact of the lens flaw on the final product should be the same with APS-C and FF. But that's just a guess.

I went this Saturday to a Shop and had a look at Sony. Boy is it tempting. I never considered switching to Sony before, but I have to say I really liked the A7III. Especially since the body has a similar price to the K-1. I haven't made my research on the lenses yet, but at the first look it seems like there's no big difference in size & weight to the APS-C lenses, and I don't know why. Everybody is saying that going FF means the glass is heavier & more expensive. Maybe for telephoto, but I guess I can live with shooting in APS-C mode when I need big zooms.
And even if the lenses are heavier, having a 650g body means I could just take a ligher lens, compromise on quality a little bit, for those moments when I can't carry 1.5 - 2 kg around.
Anyway, I liked it so much that I was seriously thinking about the A7RIII as well. And I'm not a professional photographer. It's crazy if you ask me, Not once I thought about spending that much on a body. Maybe it's a Sony marketing trap.
Anyway, I am currently not convinced I will get used to the EVF, and unfortunately I can't tell unless I use one for some time. There's something magic about seeing the scene through a glass instead of some electronic sensor.

I have explored that option. Olympus seemed like an interesting option (I dismissed Panasonic because they are focused more on video, and the camera size is more or less like an APS-C DSLR). I was however shocked when I took one in my hand (I believe it was an OM-D M5 II): it was heavy and small, and because of that very uncomfortable to hold and my hand got tired pretty soon. The controls were also crammed, and difficult to use. It was so bad that I said to myself "what were they thinking? who would be comfortable with this?".

So you take your K-1 on your hiking trip and don't mind the weight or size? What lenses do you take with you?

Hi,
On FF vs APS-C one can find tons of articles and discussions on the internet, and possibly even in this forum. I'd like however to risk a little bit and open the topic here (again): If you have experience shooting APS-C, and at some point switched to FF, how did that work out for you? What made you decide, and are you happy with your decision?
I am obviously asking to help myself make this decision.
