Shake Reduction (SR) on the K-30 is also better than the K-5
or any other Pentax

Apart from the sealing is the k30 much of a step up to the Kr ?.

AF is improved... Better IQ... Increase in resolution... Dual control wheels... RAW/FX (customizable) button... And Weather Resistant (I know you said 'apart from' but it is a biggie imo)
or any other Pentax

I wouldn't rush selling your 150-500's they have a massive
advantage of longer reach plus they are a zoom which is
very handy for ducks etc. that come up closer.

I compared the Pentax_A 50mm f/1.4 with the Pentax_A 50mm f/2.8
Macro last week and the Macro was sharper at all apertures.
It was even much sharper wide open at f/2.8 than the f/1.4 (at 2.8 ).
In fact apart from DOF I can't see any need to stop it down,
unless it purple fringes in high contrast situations.
I'll have to check the Macro against the Pentax_A 50mm f/1.7
later this week.
The Pentax_A 50mm f/1.4 I've got was a lot sharper than an FA
I used to have, it was almost as good as the f/1.7.
