That's right.
If you are happy with APS-C and it fits your photography style, then don't even bother with FF.
I looked at your gallery, there are some shots that looks wide-open, but I get what you said.
Part of why I shoot film is because I can get large "sensor" without the exorbitant price.

This type of photos.
The larger the sensor/film allow me to choose (within certain limitations) which object should be in focus based on the distance from the camera. The smaller the sensor, the harder this is unless of course we use long focal length lenses, which alters the look of the image.

Are you saying that regardless the sensor / film size, you will get the same exact depth-of-field perceived in the image using a lens with the same focal length and aperture size?
I could be living in a completely different universe than yours, but that is not how things are in mine :lol:

Yes, I like this explanation.
Depth of field is affected by focal length and aperture size. The sensor / film simply faithfully record what is projected on them.
Larger sensor / film requires longer focal length to create a projection size that will cover them, therefore, you get the effect of using a longer focal length, which we perceive as shallower depth-of-field.
But when we're talking about the total package (i.e the whole camera), it's not wrong to say that we indeed get pictures with more depth of field using APS-C cameras given that we're talking about the same aperture setting.

How about this:
Owning a full-frame camera will not improve my photography. I still have to do that myself.
But using a 35mm full-frame camera allow me to take more pictures that I ended up liking. If this statement does not apply to you, then probably full-frame is not for you.
The type of photography that I do benefits from larger sensor/film size. If it were up to me, I'd be lugging a 8x10 camera everywhere, but that is neither practical nor affordable, so besides my film cameras, a full-frame digital is the closest that I can have to my ideal setup.

Just want to say that I agree with this observation also.
I shoot film regularly (not having a full-frame digital), I see the difference between APS and full-frame in the types of photos that I make.

On the contrary, I think it's amazing what the marketers were able to convince us that sensor size makes no difference :D

Late to the party as always :o
Anyways, just want to express my happiness to see Pentax stepping up in the right direction.
For me, there are times when small sensors shine (I'm an Olympus m4/3rd fan too), but as a film photographer, there are times when only FF (or bigger) can give me the satisfaction in shooting.
A Pentax (and Ricoh) -quality full-frame camera would swim well with its competitors, and will pull quite a bit of ex-Pentax user base back into the fold.
Good move, and it's about time.

I think you've done the first thing you needed to do, create the list :)
Stick that beside your monitor and start finishing the rolls from the top.
