It is disappointing to see some of the suggestions - K-3, K-3 II, K-70, K-3 III, and even one about lenses? The OP is a Veteran Member with nearly 8000 posts. It would seem a reasonable assumption that he knows something about DSLRs and lenses, so show respect when he asks for the opinions of others on "something older than the K-3 or K-50, so from the K-5 II and further back".

The majority of the good replies suggest the K-5 IIs, and so do I. The K-5 series are great Pentax cameras, the IIs being ahead by a whisker for image quality. I've kept my IIs and use it along with a KP. Although the KP is an improvement as an image maker, the K-5 (or II or IIs) is still a very capable camera, and for me it gets the top spot as the best Pentax for handling and ergonomics - a real pleasure to use.
