Originally posted by alexcox Pentax make great APS-C cameras and have a splendid range of lenses. They also make a medium format camera and lenses. They don't make a full frame camera and haven't made a full frame lens in a long time. Why photographers are fixated on full-frame cameras is a mystery to me (how many people make massive prints?). If you want one, Sony, Canon and Nikon await you. But why?
Some current lenses are FF. D-FA 100mm f/2.8 WR Macro is FF. DA* 55mm, DA* 200mm, and DA* 300mm cover the field of a 35 mm camera.
What does "massive prints" mean? My *istD printed well at A3. Later cameras printed well at A3+. The K-3 will print well at A2. (With good lenses). Are you talking about something a lot bigger than that? I don't think printing big is the primary reason for FF, is it?
