To the OP
I too am having these thoughts. I am ebbing and flowing between the negative and positive in a rather dramatic way. For example:
The FA35 is woeful (I am a lot harsher on this lens than most). But, the Sigma 35mm 1.4 does keep me engaged at that focal length.
The FA77 is a great lens, but I agree, it seems to be lacking what modern equivalents are delivering. HMmmmmmm - perhaps the compensator there is the new FA*50 mm f1.4 in crop mode???? Yet to try so I can't say much more there.
The DFA 15-30mm seems to be a ok but not stunning lens. No wide to ultra wide modern offerings do undermine this part of the Pentax lens range.
The DFA 24-70 seems ok, but I am not motivated to buy it (there seems to be better offerings in other mount systems)
You cannot fault the DFA 150-450 except the lack of reach - wildlife photographers do need more reach (and speed). If only Pentax had lens profiles for A* and F* fast tele primes!!!!
The K-1? I didn't upgrade and glad I didn't. The ergonomics of this camera are awesome. But, it needs to be a little smaller as the mirrorless competitors are exactly that.
Hmmmmm - it is a frustrating time to be a Pentaxian. So I share your thoughts and commend you on taking action! I hope you get what you seek with the move!
