I realise all that, but is the extra weight, size and price of FF worth it over crop, especially for a manufacturer with a small market share having to produce a whole new range of products?
Just trying to understand where TN is coming from.

I didn't say I agreed with him. I just try to see it from other people's point of view.

Northrup himself did a vid about this. I'm trying to find it for you. I've known quite a few to dump their FF rigs for crop or even M4/3'rds and they're very happy.
If Pentax can pull it off regards the financials, then great. But TN mentions they have to produce a whole new line up of full frame glass whereas they could have continued crop development. Trying to compete with Canon and Nikon in the FF market is a big jump, maybe.
I'm glad Pentax made the K-1 (although the AF needs work). Got one right here.

I thought Tony Northrup was very complementary about the brand.
There seems to be a move against full frame cameras on the whole as people realise crop format can pretty much do the same yet being much lighter and cheaper.
I just wish Pentax would sort the AF out. Tried the D-FA* 2.8/70-200 on the K-3 yesterday. WOW that's slow!
