Hard to say. The handheld pixel shift is what is tempting me. Depending on how much I manage to abuse 'mark I' between now and the summer and if the price, locally, is as attractive as it was first time around, I might just buy mark II and sell the other. It's hardly a need though, more a want.

Oh that's great! Amazing capture.

A gorgeous study.

It's the journey that counts, not the destination

Haha, very cool

I agree. I don't think many people can say they have perfected anything. For most of us it will always be a continuous learning process. To me that's part of the fun. I love new tech but I do realize that the only limiter is my own skill and not lack of a Sigma Art XXX For some things you do need good equipment - there are many photographic niches that use the great low light capabilities, require the insane detail, sharpness, contrast or a particular focal length - but when you are that specific in what you do, you probably pick your gear rather carefully in the first place. If you think you need something - get it/swap brands if you think your choice was not most fortunate. If you can't afford it; chances are you don't need it, imo. A want is a different beast altogether. Constructive, critical feedback is good; constant discontent that some people voice by blindly repeating what they read/overheard somewhere is another.

The 60-250mm while covering the whole image circle, produces very soft corners on the K1. I am not a sharpness freak but this is very visible in some situations. That said, I don't understand the constant whining; usually for things, most people won't be buying anyhow There isn't a single camera in this class, regardless of manufacturer, that would not be fit for just about anything in competent hands imo. Some people would be better served shooting more and perfecting their skills, and browsing the web less. I am looking forward to the dedicated FF F4 even if we have to wait a fair while, as I don't need faster aperture and most certainly the weight that comes with it. I'd be even more kin on a FF 70-300mm and I am sure time will come for that, too.

My QS1 with the standard prime. Always with me.

There are so many - and the more DFA's I try, the more I like 'old school' offerings - If I want pixel pipping level detail and large format prints, and I do like that for cityscapes in particular, then I find myself using the DFA 28-105mm the most. I have used all currently available DFAs and if I had the need to carry all that weight, I would buy the DFA 70-200mm; fortunately I don't; the standard zoom has no edge over the kit except if you actually need the faster aperture - as far as rendering and sharpness is concerned, there is little point to spend twice the money and carry twice the weight. For anything else, the more I own, the more I seem to use older glass.

I rarely shoot people but when I do the SMC Pentax 135mm 2.5 is all I need.
For the best 'Pentax green', be it coupled with my K1 or K3II the SMC Pentax F Zoom 1:3.5-4.5 35-70mm.
DA 35mm 2.4 for street on APS-C - plastic and indeed fantastic. I sold my first one, and few months later, very quickly bought another one. It squeaks a bit but it's great on both APS-C and FF.
SMC Pentax M 50mm 1.7, SMC Pentax FA 50mm 1.4 for general use/light walkabouts on the K1 ,
SMC Pentax M 28mm 3.5 for explosion of natural colors for landscapes and it is one of my favourite lenses for pixel shift - just a totally arbitrary opinion.

I shoot interiors with Irix 15mm - at f8 as sharp as the DA15-30mm with very little distortion, unlike the Pentax option - which for me is a deal breaker.

I only own two DA ltds and surprisingly, they stay on the shelves most times - 15mm gets busted out if I need a funky starburst/flare (non HD one).
