I think I would keep that combination. Cracking shots with nice colours and impressive detail. Particularly like no.4.

Seems the new Pentax D-FA* 85mm f/1.4 lens won't be necessary after all!
People keep saying (mistakenly) that there is nothing new coming from Pentax. With results like those it shows it doesn't really matter at all.

Thanks for all the comments Guys - the A 50/1.2 delivers some amazing shots when you get it right (and I rarely do - particularly at close distances), I haven't used it with the 1.7x AF converter before but just from these first few shots I don't think I'll part with this combination. So - it'll have to be the K 50/1.2 to go up for sale

Sorting out glass? A thankless task. All above are quality shots. I shoot glass that matches my mood or specific requirement. I'm still aiming for a sharp image through a jam jar base and therefore accept all of my lenses as keepers.
