Originally posted by PentaxRev I agree although I'm personally not interested in a full frame system. For me, at least at this point in time, I'm invested in and very satisfied with the 1.5 crop sensor. There is no doubt that a full frame system is better. The question for me is at what price? As a serious amateur photographer I'm where I want to be with the cropped sensor.
However, I do think it makes a great deal of business sense for Pentax to go after a game changing design that would make a serious dent in the Canikon world. This should, if done properly, simply strengthen the entire Pentax system and insure their long-term success on multiple fronts.
I think wider glass will be the preference for a mirror-less design. It is easier to design wide glass for FF than for APS-C. If you made a wish list of the lenses you would want for a mirror-less (Samsun NX type camera) what would it be.
15mm f/4
20mm f/2.8
31mm f/2
43mm f/2
60mm Macro
77mm f/2
I don't see lenses larger than the 135mm being in demand for this type of system. Updating the designs of the current 31mm, 43mm, & 77mm and giving people the traditional FoV with these lenses would be a good selling point.
In terms of the glass for the system what would be best, and what format would work best with the glass?
I look at it as glass first. What lenses would I want in a mirror-less system and then ask what format is best for those focal lengths.
