I would go for option 2
-NO, Dont need FF And Loves the K5 for $1599

[jsherman999]

Yes. Assuming the DxO score is 83!

[JohnBee]

I'd be tempted if the DR and ISO are high enough!

But... then again, were right back to lenses and I don't think I could justify rebuilding my kits for FF compatibility( I really love my glass!

But that's just me

Takumar / K club magic Where did that pic and the rumor come from..Sony? Presumably fictitious.

[johan kruger]

Yes it is fake and even if it was true, I would not pay that much for it and in all likelihood that is what a pentax FF would cost if not more...

[Kunzite]

Oh, boy... not again.
We should have a dedicated section, "Dreaming/obsessing about FF" - and keep this section for real news and rumors.

i already have pentax FF, my old k1000. i want EVIL much more,

[Jasvox]

Same old subject, just a different guise.

Hell yes. Have some very good primes and full frame will be fun to use those.

[infoomatic]

of course I would buy one ;-)

[WerTicus]

No because I've got all DA limited lenses now. And the k-5 is awesome enough.

[kales]

come on, please change the sony body to something else.
can't you just use a MZ-S??

[stanleyk]

No because I've got all DA limited lenses now. And the k-5 is awesome enough.

Agreed. Not interested for at least 2-3 years. I have all the DA Limiteds also and a K5 pending. That seems like the perfect combination.

I do wish they would release something to compete with the DP1/2 or E-P2. I would be much more interested in a K mount mirrorless.

[infoomatic]

I have more FF lenses than APS-C lenses, and I really would like to have 31mm and not 1.5x31mm :-/ aaaand smaller DOF ... although I must admit that with the K-5 my point for FF (low light) is washed away :-)
