Originally posted by mattt Surprisingly, with all the discussion above about equivalence and Fields of view, no one commented as to whether vignetting will occur with the newly procured DA* should a future Full Frame formatted K mount digital body ever materialize. Any of you have knowledge of that?
Since Pentax-Ricoh has said zilch about any potential FF, we have no knowledge. We can *speculate* that a K-FF will have some internal cropping to handle APS-C lenses. We can *hope* that a K-FF might eventually emerge. But we know nothing.
Those who know, don't say. Those who say, don't know.
Quote: Also surprisingly... no discussion on the variety of coatings SMC lenses get depending on weather they are designed from a Film body or a digital body. My understanding is there is different treatments for DA lenses when compared to FA type.
I've read that. I don't know how significant that is for FF lenses used on APS-C cameras.
