I'm gonna be getting a decent amount of spare money in a week and I've currently got a K50.
Think it's worth the upgrade to a K3 ii? K1 is simply out of the question unfortunately, it's significantly more expensive than what I'm willing to spend, I think I'd be happy with getting a used K3 ii though (I see a few in the £450-500 price range, that sound good?).
I definitely want to stick with Pentax either way.
I only really own 1 lens thus far though, and that's a SMC DA 40mm f/2.8 Limited Pancake lens, which I'm very pleased with, but I'd definitely like to expand my lens collection (I originally wasn't even planning on upgrading my K50, I was just gonna blow my money on multiple lenses at first actually). In particular I'm looking for a macro lens. I've heard nothing but good things about the Pentax-D FA 100mm f/2.8 Macro lens, and I've had my eye on it for a long ass time now, so I might just bite the bullet and buy this lens next.
What do you think guys, worth going the upgrade route and grabbing myself a K3 ii and selling my K50 and probably having enough for one lens, or shall I keep the K50 and buy a few lenses instead?
Not gonna lie, I've been pretty lax on going out with my camera and taking pictures. I put that down to feeling limited by not having certain tools though, like a tripod and a couple of different lenses (again, a macro lens in particular). I'm hoping to change that though but the magic of having a new camera has died down so I need something to motivate me again, and what better way to do that than to buy new retardedly expensive shit for this beautiful hobby?
As a final side question.
Regardless of what route I go for on this current purchase, what are some essential focal length lenses that I'm missing out on that I really should have in my repertoire?
