And with your Macro Apo-Lanthar I presume!

I have a sig on the Dutch Pentaxforum: "This is the year of the Pentax Fullframe". My sig was and has always been valid!

Yep! it's like the little boy that cried wolf.. makes it harder to believe.

Before we all rejoice, double and triple check to make sure it is for real... and brace yourself for the specs... 12Mp FF...

Ha-ha...I've heard it already - project is under development

How many here will refuse to buy the Pentax FF in a modified K-s1 body, we wonders?

I'm not in the FF market, at all!
But I own 13 lenses, of which 10½ are FF/film-friendly (FFFF) and cover 17fisheye to 400mm.
Curious!

The DA40 is my ½ , 18-55wr and 55-300dal the other two..
