Canadian Dollar? Take a look at Sterling! Yikes! I'm glad I did all my big spend before Brexit.

In my opinion, stick with what you have. It's not so much the camera, it's big full frame glass which takes the pleasure out of shooting. The D-FA 2.8/15-30 isn't too bad because of the fulcrum is close to the camera, but the combined weight and leverage of the 70-200 causes me to avoid the thing unless on a tripod.

K-1's a great camera with the FA Ltd's and Zeiss ZK's mind. It's just big heavy full frame zooms are limited by the users' strength and stamina.

APS-C + slightly slower lenses or APS-C lenses = much higher probability of use.
I hadn't realised quite how physically weak I'd become until I went out shooting with the K-1 and D-FA* 2.8/70-200 the other day. It's a great combination, but the weight and handling negates the marginal optical benefits over say, my A6000 and 4/70-200 G OSS.
For me, the lens weight limit is around a kilo before it becomes too uncomfortable, so my preference for general shooting is APS-C, both camera and lens.

Had a bit of sun today but ended up down the pub instead.

I use three different APS-C's and two full frames. That being said one APS-C and one full frame along with a load of glass (££££Gulp!) has been sequestered by my eldest daughter. She's twelve and shows great promise as a tog.

Just buy one and find out. They're really nice to use. Been impressed with the results from the 150-450 I've seen.

I'm not getting much from the K-1 over the past few weeks. No sunshine. Grey British cloud. Day in day out. It's starting to get me down. :(

I don't really get it either. The K-1's not exactly expensive in any case.
