The K1 to me is an ideal portrait/landscape camera, not so great for events, the fact that they managed to deliver the trio of pro-spec zooms at launch was admirable but they seem a miss match for the body.
A couple of high quality portable primes (the 15-30 is a great lens, I have the Tamron version but it's huge and weighty) to satisfy traditional landscape and portrait shooters should have at least closely followed the launch of the three f2.8 zoom lenses IMO. I needed a new solution to cover my events shooting with better speed and low light performance (was previously using K3/K3/K5iis combination) but I knew that the K1 buffer would limit its usefulness to me so I finally jumped ship. I would have stuck around for another 5 plus years on top of my 30 or so if they had produced a K3/ii replacement in a timely fashion.
