Originally posted by Adam A few teasers from our interview with Pentax Japan:
10:30(Kawauchi) We continuously consider 35mm (full-frame), but it has to be different from what other manufactures are releasing and lenses supporting 35mm have to be prepared. We think these are the principal challenges. So for example, even if we decide to make a full size SLR in the future, we will release what is not available from the other makers. We cannot comment and we do not know when it will be.
Sorry..... This makes NO SENSE!!!!!!
WHY, does Pentax make its own faithfull wait for a Fullframe, those who have stuck with Pentax and spent 1000's and 1000's of dollars along the way with Pentax, WAIT till they make QUOTE "Something" different that other Camera Manufacturers Dont make, is some wierd assumption that, that is what is required for Pentax to sell a FF camera. I Don't give a rats arse if Canon or Nikon make "JUST a FF camera", they do, nothing ground breaking, no gimicks, Just FF, I DO care that Pentax Does not make "JUST a FF camera", NO GIMICKS REQUIRED!!!!! for me to purchase THAT. The idea the Pentax Feels the only way to sell a Pentax FF is that it requires some Gimick of something that no one else in the marketplace has is Lunacy.. Hey Pentax, want to make something that NO ONE ELSE IN THE MARKET PLACE OFFERS.......... THAT WOULD BE A PENTAX FF DSLR!!!!!!!! PLAIN AND SIMPLE. In the mean time sit back and watch time and time again, Pentax loyal users continue to be forced to jump ship not because they are unhappy with Pentax equipment, but simply because Pentax refuses to see the blantantly obvious.
Sorry... end of Rant... I need a lay down now... Go to my Happy Place..happy happy happy place..
