Does it make sense to keep an APS-C camera when you have a new fullframe?

Correct. Realized my error about an hour later while out driving, but forgot to make the correction when I got home four hours later. A little early onset Alzheimer's can relieve you of so many worries. I will go make the correction now, before I forget.

Now please excuse me, I think there was something I needed to do, Something... Something.... I just know there was something.

Have not read through all the replies above, but I'm sure they've pointed that: 1) APS-C bodies and equivalent range zooms & SFL lenses are smaller & lighter; 2) frame rates and write speeds on APS-C are faster, and download to computer time is shorter; 3) telephotos with equivalent on-sensor image size are MUCH smaller/lighter; 4) FF compatible wide range zooms are few and generally have less range, for example, my standard travel zoom for the K3 is a Sigma 18~250mm, which translates to 27~375mm FF equivalent; the only FF compatible zoom with near comparable range is the Tamron 28~300mm, so APS-C has a little extra at each end, but there's a new 18~300mm for APS-C (27~450mm equivalent); 4) there are more in-production APS-C lenses than FF compatible lenses, for example, for APS-C there are multiple fish-eye lenses (zoom, SFL and even a circular); but there's only one FF fish-eye for K-mount in production (Sigma). I'm not ready to give up my K3 (or k5) as yet.
