If Pentax don't release a Full Frame (or a 24MP APS-C DSLR) this week then I am definitely selling all of my Pentax stuff. The D800E is a great camera and with the extra crop modes it's also very flexible - like having 4 different cameras in one. I am not using a few lenses anywhere near as much as I'd like and would prefer an extra body to facilitate that.

I suppose that you are referring to my Sigma 8-16, DA*55 and/or FA*300 when you say there are a couple of lenses you might be interested in?

Personally the K-5 is a far better camera than I am a practitioner, so the 'need' for FF is more of an acquisitive urge than a gap that I need to fill, so there is less of a requirement from my POV for Pentax to do anything at all. I hope they do bring out a FF cam though, just so it would stop all these annoying threads and posts about it...lol

As far as interest in your lenses, I was referring to the Zeiss, the DA*200 and FA*300. I'm unsure about the DA*55 as I have a FA50 1.4 and I rarely use that, maybe I could be convinced to try it though...

The lenses in YELLOW on my Sig' are Nikon mount lenses. That makes the Zeiss for my D800E .. that lens is incredible and will be with me forever.

Doh, I didn't realise it is Nikon mount. I should have looked closer. I guess my vision was clouded by drool....

Last week I was on vacation to the Azores. A nice opportunity to spend some qualitytime with my recent aquired DA* 16-50.

The Azores can display some stunning colors and beautifull light. While it is close to the equator the sunlight allways seems to be of a special quality, rendering gorgeous tones.
While this may look heavily saturated this shot is allmost SOOC, just brought up the shadows a bit and applied a slight S-curve.

At the cliffs

Lagoa do Negro (the black lake)

And the world is round :)

Was driving out to a buddies place just west of Portland and saw this sunset.....both shot with the DA* 50-135

Then hauled butt to another spot....light beams were fading, but still great colors
