Hi there
Whilst being fully mindful of the prevailing world recession that is unfortunately reeking untold havoc upon millions of hard-working individuals and corporations at the moment, it is nevertheless my belief that if Pentax
ever wishes to be regarded nowadays as a SERIOUS contender in professional circles rather than simply being seen as a niche outsider, it simply has no option but to offer a full-frame DSLR in the foreseeable future AND provide a comprehensive range of lenses to go with it !
The pro's & cons about this matter have already been discussed to death on the forum, but I feel bound to remind members that Nikon's D700 'FF compact' professional SLR is already available, as are Sony's A900 and Canon's recently announced EOS 5D Mark II.
More to the point, where the hell are Pentax in all this ?....although I have a sneaking suspicion that their marketing division may have successfully patented an 'invisibility suit' ! APS-C cameras are all well and good
for the moment, but as the well-worn phrase goes: 'time stands still for no man' and that includes Pentax.
