Very well said, Darren. I totally agree...
Now, not answering you directly, but rather to a topic question:
In fact, for me Pentax DSLRs such as K-5 exceed my expectations and
abilities in such a manner that by now I shoot exclusively with Ricoh
GXR-M module with or without K-mount adapter. I should say that A 50/1.2
is one fine lens on that camera body and it is not as big or heavy...
Additionally, Nokton 40/1.4 is even so much smaller and lighter making
Ricoh GXR-M with it pretty much a perfect camera for me - in terms of
size, ergonomics vs price, convenience vs picture quality that I am able
to get from it.
In the past I was rather strong proponent of (Pentax) FF, but I have
changed my mind. I don't think that I need the added bulk of FF camera
(it ain't gonna be small, at least by now) and added bulk of RAW files
from it - 24 MP RAW files aren't small... I may benefit some things such
as AOV or DOF, but it is far less critical that I thought it might be...
