Here in Europe, when used USD$ as comparison value:
2nd hand K3 (mk1) is around $450

2nd hand K5IIs is around $450 and are a bit rare

2nd hand K5II is around $400

2nd hand K5 is around $350

So the obvious choice is the K3..

K30/K50/K70.. that are all bodies with solenoid issue risk included. I just ignore those.

Somewhere between is KP which is also in $500-700 price league depending on how used it is. But if you give me hoice between K3 and KP, my reaction would be

No offense meant here at all, but that K3 deserves a better lens than that particular Sigma

I have many lenses And yes this old Sigma 50-200 is rather weak. But it was $30
