K-3ii body + the flash might be an interesting deal

Astrotracer works superbly. I know it works on earlier models but the usage on the 3 is much simpler.
Yeah I've got the K-5iis pretty happy with it. Also got the O-GPS1, but to have it builtin would be good. Makes the package smaller and easier to use.

The K-3ii is calling me. BUT the K-5iis is still a hell of camera.

FF will need to offer significant DR/ISO performance to interest me. The increased cost of the system is a factor IMO. It would also be nice if the FF has the Astrotracer built in.

the samples here show this is insanely good IMO

the only thing is the bulk

Canikon brigade have either put their cameras away or stuck them in plastic bags whenever the weather turns a bit 'dodgy', but not a problem for me.
hah yeah.. went to an airshow in May.. it rained heavily the giant Canikon bazookas were swiftly packed away.

The K-5iis and relatively small 50-135mm DA* stayed out and got a wash, no bother

It is a lovely camera and IQ is stunning even with the APS sensor, so the long awaited Pentax FF will have to offer something pretty special for me
this is where I'm at... desperately trying to resist the K-3ii to see what the FF brings... but the K-3ii may still be what I move to in the long term - the built in astrotracer is something I'd like to have as well as the improved SR

being a DA* the 16-50 should also have superior weather sealing to the DA lenses

reading around the 16-85mm wins apart from size and doesn't reach as far (to 135)

photozone liked it

there are some comparisons here (if you scroll down to Heie's review)

The £999 k-3ii + 16-85 does seem a good deal, given that the k-3ii body has never been below 700 yet and might never go beneath 500 new from a shop

There's nothing like an FA 31/77
