Originally posted by mee What about lenses? That was my primary concern. Besides you are assuming over the price of the FF body.
Doubt FF will have any impact on APS-C lens prices. FF is at best 10% of the market. Pentax is firmly entrenched in the APS-C category with a good line up of dedicated lenses. Expecting them to drop in price because a camera is released that cannot use them makes no sense to me. I suppose there might be some impact to the used market, but I would not hold my breath. I am expecting a new flagship APS-C camera to be released not that far out, maybe even as soon as this fall.
And of course I am assuming the price of the FF. But pick your price, D610 seems to be about $1,500, D810 $3,000. I'm guessing someplace in the middle if they bring out one FF body. I think $2,500 is not far off if it is a high end camera. If they have two FF bodies in the works, then who knows?
