A Panasonic with a Leica lens should fit the bill.

Here's my honest opinion.
You are very immature. You always think the grass is greener on the other side of the fence. Whatever you have, you always think there is something better out there.
If you continue in your present vein, throwing money away, you soon won't be able to afford anything.
Nothing in life is perfect. We have to make do with what comes our way. In your case, by sheer luck, you have ended up with a magnificent camera. There are bound to be one or two things that other cameras do better, but, overall, you won't improve on the K10D, so STOP WORRYING about it.
If you were Don, you would have fashioned a little reflector out of whatever came to hand, or bought a cheap bracket, and you would have been able to swivel your 360.
But being you, you wasted a load of time and money by selling the 360 and buying the Sigma. Now you want a new camera.
Now, grow up, get real, and deal with the problem. There is presently an AF400T on Ebay which looks very professional. You'll have to use it on manual, but you'll soon learn how. Alternatively, get another 360 and a bracket.

Thanks George, that looks promising. I also found that there is a Pentax lens hood especially made for the 50mm 1,4, but that one is hard to find.

As a 50mm lens has the same angle of view as a 75mm lens when mounted on a digital camera, it follows that a 75mm lens hood will be appropriate.
Sadly, such animals are rare. Try looking for a hood for a 70-200 lens.
Personally, I just use a 50mm lens hood, and avoid shooting into the sun if I can.

It may come as no surprise that when I do eventually have to clean the sensor, it will be the Pentax kit I will be buying.
