Originally posted by PBandJ IF they have already made the investment in Sony/nikon/canon lenses, it will be very hard to draw them out of that system. The early bird gets the worm, they say. If Pentax is to have any chance to capture that market, they need to act fast, at the early phase of the APS-c to FF transition.
True... If Pentax/Ricoh will produce an FF system, it should be damn good, at least in some aspects like the all-mighty Pentax's weather sealing and ruggedness... I know a lot of photographers (pros and enthusiasts from CaNikon) who are really envy at me when I'm shooting out in the rain with total confidence. They want the Pentax's ruggedness but they also want a FF format, good AF, and lots of choices of fast glasses. What I think, in order for Pentax/Ricoh to turn people's heads toward them, is to produce a rugged (and at least compact for a DSLR) FF system...
