Originally posted by Barry Pearson That assumes people want to make a transition. My current intention is rather different.
I intend to run two (sub)systems: a "proper" FF range for when weight and size are not an issue, and an APS-C range as a more portable but still high quality option.
So I expect to have most of this year's D FA lenses for use with the FF camera, (and I've already pre-ordered the first two of them, 2 kilograms each!) Those will be in addition to other FF lenses, such as my D FA 100mm Macro WR, and Samyang Tilt/Shift. Then I'll keep a reasonably comprehensive APS-C system, mostly based on what I have. This camera will also act as a back-up to the FF camera just in case.
So I'll mix-n-match depending on circumstances, and not need a fully comprehensive set of FF lenses. For example: I may carry on with my existing DA 10-17mm Fisheye, rather than replace it with .... what?
this is my plan as well. but kinda modified.
My K3/K5 will be my APSC portable, high quality, option. Still use it like I do now, taking it to functions where a smaller and more compact camera and lens can help work in the smaller spaces. Also good for travel, hiking, walks, etc.
My FF-K camera (yes, I'll be an early adopter), will be a complement to my Nikon D800 as a prime lens shooter. Two bodies, two different setups essentially. It will become my primary camera when I need to shoot in places where I need to take advantage of the weather sealing (I don't trust the sealing of the D800)
My lens lineup for the FF-K will FA 31, FA43, FA 77, DFA 100. then I'll flesh out other primes as the become available that are hopefully weather sealed. Maybe get the 70-200 a year after the bodies release if I feel I require it.

K-FFx = 54MP, $3100 initial MSRP
There is no logic in that pricing. sorry
Nikon D810 goes for £2349.00
Pentax K-FF is rumored to be £2000.00
That doesn't equal $2100 USD. Maybe $2750
