The announcement came at an odd time if you ask me. I was at work and I scan the forums when I am on break (this one and several others) so that's when I saw it...but one thing is for sure... confirmed fact is a lot less exciting and interesting than unconfirmed rumor. Once it becomes fact then it sort of loses it's luster and becomes 'boring'. Just like all that high school gossiping.
I imagine as word gets out more we will have more talk about it. On the flip side now that Pentax will have a crop/FF/ AND a medium format what is left for people to complain about? Those folks are gonna have to start getting more creative! LOL
If they were half as creative in their photography....LOL
The forum might have to eventually do away with the FF section (my idea to create it BTW)
None the less all I need now is a 77mm to round out my amigos. When the FF finally rolls off the line I will be ready. I will buy one at some point. I just got a K3 and that isn't going anywhere any time soon.
