But my next camera body will probably be a Sony.

ew.

Sony because (a) I'd rather give up than use a Canon, (b) there is an adapter which will support my DFA*85 and DFA21 ltd , plus the 77 limited. So it is possible to keep the K1 and have a MILC. (c) Sony's AF seems to be the best of the lot. (d) I like the slim body of the A7r family.

Stick with Pentax because (a) Ergonomics (b) OVF (c) lenses used natively (d) the time get used to a new system.

2016 K1 against a 2016 Sony was easy to stay with Pentax. 2016 K1 against 2022 Sony less easy. 2016 K1 against a 2026 Sony ?

That's why I want K1 with 2021/2/3 technology. Just putting the K3-iii AF in it and updating the Wifi from 10MBit/sec to something closer to the 780Mbit/sec my laptop is running at so I could do wireless tethering would probably get me to open my wallet, never mind a better prism, sensor, faster SD cards.
