You might be able to keep a few of the telephotos. Otherwise you need to bin everything you have and start from scratch. That was one of the issues with the K-01 - Pentax wasn't prepared to do this.
Look at Olympus, they binned the entire FT line and upset a lot of people. Sony did the same with their A-mount vs E-mount. Samsung pulled out of Pentax-K. Fuji started their new X-mount.
