k1 is a nice piece of kit with the grip
but there is one down side and that is k1 with grip +150/450 lens (and i know what you are all thinking the price ) but no it actually is not its just you have to be jeff capes to handle it
Well to be fair, the K3/K3II with the 150-450 is a hefty kit also, does 150-250 grams really make that much of a difference

With lenses like the 43mm the K-1 is no worse than the K10/20/7/5/3. It only becomes big and bulky when you add a grip or some of the big new fast lenses. As to going back to 35mm angles-of-view, some of us never left them entirely! Apart from trying to justify spending more money on a camera body than we spent on our car, my biggest quandry is what I would do with my beloved 50-135, or my 12-24...
I have those as well. I think I will just continue to use the 50-135. I reckon that you'll get more than the 16mp crop from it at most settings anyway (subject to edge and corner performance when important). Even in crop mode it should be enough for most images I use it for.With lenses like the 43mm the K-1 is no worse than the K10/20/7/5/3.

For landscape the 15-30 is going to be a must have lens I think. Bit annoying that it will require a whole, new expensive filter set. The 12-24 I will keep as a back-up I think.

Is the K1 really significantly heavier than a K3?
David[/quote]the awnser to that is no
it is when you start putting the new lenses on that you start to notice but then the lenses are a lot bigger so a lot more glass
i just have to con the wife now so i can have one

I don't think that the 15-30 has a front thread for filters.Bit annoying that it will require a whole, new expensive filter set.

It doesn't, that's why a filter set and special ring/holder will be expensive.

What's the weight in practical objects such as pints or steins of beer
This Bavarian Barmaid will give you a hand if it's too heavy

Too frothy for my taste. And the beer has an awful lot of head on it too. ... This Bavarian Barmaid will give you a hand if it's too heavy

It is an illusion that photos are made with the camera… they are made with the eye, heart and head. Henri Cartier-Bresson
Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.
