Once someone has K-1 they can do a test - take one shot in FF mode, one shot in APSC mode, without changing the lens, aperture or focus.
I think that a) lens' focal length and aperture are a lens property, and they will render the same image (with the same focus) regardless of format (FF, APSC, MF); however b) sensors have different resolution, different size pixels, which might have various consequences. This is why I think hyperfocal rules from the film days are slightly outdated, and that it makes sense to use a stop different aperture (focus as if you are using a stop wider aperture). But that is just my limited, unscientific, definitely not thorough experience.

This would be a great question to ask Pentax. And not just their marketing department, but the engineers. What exactly was their standard for the markings on the lenses? Then a K-1 test to check the answer empirically
