Picked up a K-1 to have in addition to my "action" K3-ii body; I unexpectedly haven't picked up the K3-ii in a year or so (about when I got the K-1)! I took it along with my Sigma 18-35 Art for two event shoots as it's a nice backup body to the DFA24-70 but for landscape, wildlife, hiking, sports, I'll carry the K-1. I don't find the frame rate much of an issue but I also don't shoot things where I _need_ to have things exactly set up right (e.g., shot a softball match but not for publication where having the ball in the right part of the frame would matter and I'd want 10+ FPS to catch the right moment).
Yes it weighs a fair amount but so does my tripod. I go hiking because I like photography, not the other way around, so I'll compromise on other things before dropping the K-1! (Last trip I did drop my 5lb tripod at home, sad, but I didn't have any shots planned that really required it.) I did carry the K-1, DFA24-70, DFA100WR with me over 20mi and definitely don't regret it over the K-3ii.
However, I also completely recognize that my camera and lens collection far exceeds my photography skills. :)
