I don't think you can go wrong with the K-3II. As Paul says, the APS-C
cameras are superb.
In terms of getting out and shooting - I gave myself a photo-a-day
assignment for 2016 - rather spontaneously around 4 PM New Year's day
while contemplating that I hadn't dome much of any photo work in the
preceding month. I've stuck to it and while much of what I've come up
with is crap it has really forced me to shoot. In even just 3 months in
there have been plenty of days where I have trudged out to get a photo
when I would otherwise have stayed put. I highly recommend a PAD or PAW
project to stimulate to photographic activity.

With the approaching release of the K-1, and seeing the HD FA
24-70/2.8 post by Paul Stenquist, and reviewing the enormity of size
of FF lens, I set out to survey the smaller sensor sizes APS-c and
Micro 4/3. I decided that Pentax has waited too long, for me at least,
to release a full frame.
Long story short I cancelled my K-1 and ordered a K-3 II. I have a
collection of lens that will work either way. I ordered a HD DA 35
2.8 with which Larry Colen has produced many beautiful photographs.
Also a HD DA 100. Should be here tomorrow and soon I should post a pic
from my K-3 II, the first in a long time. I think the K-3 II is an
awesome camera especially compared to my K20d and Kx. I intend to go
for the best APS-c specific lens and avoid the larger full frames.
There are a lot of good HD DA lens.
Just in case it isn't awesome I have a Lumix Gx8. I just have to get
my tired, lazy ass out and start shooting. We will be entering the
festival season with Festival International and Jazz Fest approaching
and others.
I hope this is the catalyst for rehabilitation from numerous health
issues the last couple of years. I'm excited.
I have a lot to sell once I figure out what I want to keep. I think
it will pay for most of this upgrade. The group will get a heads up.
