Hi all, title pretty much self explanatory! I have a K3 and a K3ii with 9 lenses, most of them APSc. If i bought a K1ii and then waited to recover from the cost before slowly going FF on the lenses, is there any disadvantage using the K1ii with APSc lenses compared with using the K3ii or K3 cameras designed for APSc?

Thanks for your thoughts!

Phil

There are two "disadvantages", IMHO. One is the size and weight of the K-1ii compared to the smaller and lighter APS-c bodies. The other is the 15 MP files resulting from the K1ii set to APSc format vs the 24 MP from the latest APSc Pentax.
