Originally posted by pcarfan If the 35mm film lenses are not working well in FF, could that mean that the three FA limiteds may not be so amazing with any FF camera pentax may consider.

Sony has SR and very nice FF Zeiss lenses, and with any FF camera, size is going to be a problem anyways....just thinking out loud, I so very much hope the FA limiteds will still be greta on a FF camera.
P.S: Nice poll, so glad to see Pentax doing so well.........
43 and 77 shall be ok, I'm more concerned about 31.
43 is normal lens and normal lens have shown to be great on FF,
77 is a portrait lens so a little vigneting and lower border qualtiy shouldn't be worrying.
31 is wide angle (almost perfectly in between the 2 classic 28 and 35), vigneting and corner performance is more of an issue. However the Zeiss 28 is great on FF and it was initially designed for film, so lets see what it will become.
About getting a FF, you shall ask yourself what you want to do as picture and tell if FF is right thing. FF + good glass makes a much bigger and bulky system than a K7 and DA*, a bit like a LX compared to a 645.
