I'll not be "switching" anything. I already have two digi cameras. Three if you count the one I gave away to relatives. This will be in addition to. keith whaley Bandicoot wrote: "Brian C.

Yes. with a M- to K- adapter. With the same limitations you'd have on any other k-mount camera body. Still, you'll be able to use them! I think that's great! keith whaley Mojtaba (Is not yet into digital) |

How many of you Pentax users will actually consider making the switch at $800-$900 instead of $1500? Pentax seems tobe going the Nikon way with DSLR-s - APS sized sensor and special DA (vs nikon dx) lens Seems, yes - but while they have a lot of compact digital experience, this is only their second DSLR (though their third design, since they got part way to market with an MZ-S D and then switched to the *ist chassis design.) I'd expect anyone's first couple of DSLRs not to be full frame: whether a full frame one ever follows will depend on market response to their two current models, and on whether in the wider market the premium for a full frame model, plus the 'kudos' of having one in the range, are sufficient to make it cost effective to develop one. The DA lens range makes sense for a maker with two APS sized DSLRs in their range, shame it is aperture ring-less though. What is more interesting is the new FA-D series of lenses: these have aperture rings, are computed with digital in mind (ie. no shallow angles of incidence for rays at the sensor) and... cover full frame. Either these are an expensive venture to appeal to people who shoot both film and (APS sized) digital - or else Pentax is expecting (not necessarily planning, but expecting) that a full sized sensor is in their future. Given Pentax's lenses, and their skills at making 'big' cameras small, I think such a thing could be a real winner. Peter |
