Oh I'm sure I'll go back to the Fuji X series at some point. That 35mm 1.4 is worth the price of admission alone. Beautiful and sharp glass. They've got to work out the RAW file conversion for the Xtrans though, or go back to a bayer sensor. Especially for landscape. I'm loving working with the flexibility of the raw files on the K3 so far.

I bought my K3 two weeks ago. I have the da35 2.4, the da50 1.8, a rikenon 50mm f2, and a m 135mm f3.5. I also have a sigma 17-50 2.8 on order from Adorama.

I'm a hobbyist that mostly shoots landscape and kids. Part of my hobby fun is that I change out gear quite often. I enjoy trying new things. I started a couple of years ago with a Sony NEXF3, the an Olympus OMD-EM5, and most recently a FujiFilm X-E1.

I was in LOVE with my X-E1, and in fact I was very upset when I sold it. However, what bothered me about that camera was the user interface. This, plus the weather sealing and faster AF and shutter speed, is why I chose to go with the K3. I'm really enjoying the body so far. In fact, my wife and I went out last night to shoot some xmas pics of our family. It went REALLY well, and I am incredibly excited at the prospect of shooting this body once I get some more high quality lenses in house.

I also really liked the OMD, but was not thrilled at the IQ of the m4/3 sensor. It just didn't hit me right.

I'm thinking of adding the Tamron 70-200, the 70mm limited, and either the FA limited 43mm or the Sigma 35mm 1.4. I love lens collecting/studying so the plethora of lenses available for the K3 really excites me. I also might try to find a good quality copy of the voigtlander 40mm Ultron. Looks like a fun manual focus lens.
