Originally posted by Blue If they ME/ME Super were large for you, did you carry an Auto 110? That said, the lens size argument isn't as much a problem with Pentax glass as you may think. Take a look at the relative size of lenses such as the FA 28/2.8, FA 35/2, FA 50/1.4, FA 43/1.9 LTD, FA 77/1.8 LTD and compare them to the DA 40 LTD, DA 70 LTD and DA* 55/1.4.
I seem to have worded that ambiguously. I did indeed have an ME, MX and ME Super, because their size and weight suited me, and their quality was high for the size, price and weight. Having said that, I have to confess that it is far easier for me to produce good photos these days with my larger heavier K5, even though I had a reasonable range of "M" lenses then (and I still have them). Also, I can produce much larger prints of acceptable quality now than in my manual days - everything is better for me, so I don't need FF.
So I hope Pentax APS-C development will continue but that they can be made lighter as my ME Super body weighs an ideal 485 grams, and my K5 body 740 grams, which is quite a big difference.
Others don't mind the extra weight, of course.
