Dear Pentax, future firmware upgrade - re: auto crop

I would love to have the option in Auto Crop Mode of it being lens specific. Off for the DA40, DA70, DA60-250 & DA300, but applied to the DA21 and DA15. My choice in the menu similar to focus tuning.

After playing with the camera some more I realized the Smart Function dial is perfect for this. I put the 12-24 on, and as you know, at 12mm it's heavily cropped. At 24mm it fills the frame. I used the third dial and without leaving the viewfinder I was able to go from APS-C to FF to square (which I first thought was a gimmick, now I see the usefulness - lightbulb pops up with Homer Simpson saying "DOH").
The K1 is simply brilliant, I have to be smart enough to learn to use it.
Thanks for your reply.
