Since this has popped up again, I'm going tp chip in. it's not an issue with a high Mp (cropable) camera unless you do video, and since nobody buys Pentax for video, it;s not an issue (

Basically, as far as I'm concerned, you take the image you see in the viewfinder, and that's that. Cameraville talks about bring at an event where you can't get closer so you lose out, First, you can crop, second you can use and APS-C body, third, Pentax aren't aimed at press photographers, and fourth, there are,no free lunches - if it were possible to eliminate ficus breathing at no cost, optically of financially, it would be done.
