This is an easy one. Keep the K, sell the A. Use the MF K lens for those times when feel, handling, and taking pleasure in the act of photography are more important than having the most advanced metering. And if you want to update your technology, no sense going halfway to an A-series... spring for the AF 24/2 and get AF along with multi-pattern metering. chris
