Good morning. I don't know if this helps, due to various issues I have had to make carry weight adjustments. My gear now to carry is K70 + 2 lenses. The weight of K70 with battery is 1.8lb. The KP is given as 1.55 with battery. May help. Good luck.
Just passing thru

If you want to go really lite & bulk free consider also a 'Q'

What you need are lenses, more lenses, bigger lenses, better lenses, faster lenses, vintage lenses and when you have these, your pictures will be perfect!

Currently selling my Q kit since it's more of a collector's item than anything these days.
The KP just feels so good in the hand, I've tried the K-S1 and 2 and they just don't come close. The only sticking point is price. Everything seems to have gone up in the used market so where I sold my KP for £500 odd in the past, they're up at £650 or higher.

The Q still takes decent photo's but point taken. Currently selling my Q kit since it's more of a collector's item than anything these days.

If you check UsedLens there are a few KPs for sale from non-E-bay retailers which I imagine offer some kind of guarantee. The cheapest is £558 from Wex.

I missed out on a KP + 18-135 kit earlier - somehow overlooked it at £575 with best offer.
Ouch.
I know it's a bit of a lowball price but I'm looking for closer to £450-475 than £550!
