Nope!

I'm quite committed to APS-C and though the K1 looks to be an awesome camera for those who need FF, I do not have any interest.

Planning on running my 2-year-old K-5 IIs into the ground and a few years down the line follow up with the next model after the K-3 II

I already nixed the K-3 as an option when I bought the K-5 IIs because I didn't see a substantial increase of IQ for a doubling of the price. I print up to 40x60cms and use for web-based galleries so 24Mp is not a must for me.

Got some excellent glass in the bag which will outlast the K-5 IIs but won't fit any FF body anyway, mostly DA-type lenses and the DA*50-135, no Ltd's.
