I ordered a K-1 MkII body only.

I really prefer the 24mm focal length so I'm going to sell off some other stuff and get a 15-30 later on for landscape work. For now, I'll make due with the 43 limited as my walk-around lens or the Sigma 35 1.4 Art. I have the Tammy 70-200 for portraits.

Excited to try out the new body; I really enjoyed using the K-1 when I rented it a couple of years ago.

You've made a good decision, the K-1 and I'm sure the K-1ii is a very sound basis for a DSLR system.  When you get the 15-30 you will want for nothing else in the wide angle zoom field.

Eventually you might want something between the this and your 70-200 Tammy at which point I'd advise having a close look at the 28-105 unless you really need F2.8.  It's more affordable, lighter and offers sharper photographs than the 24-70.
