At this point I doubt that Pentax has specific plans to build a FF DSLR, but I'm sure they are trying to make sure they don't paint themselves into a corner, so to speak, and leave themselves unable to do so in the future.

Does the aperture ring and 35mm coverage mean that Pentax is planning a 'full frame' pro-ish digital, why else would the new lenses have such coverage? 'According to DPreview, Pentax has announced two new and exiting lenses: smc Pentax-D FA Macro 100mm F2.8 and smc Pentax-D FA Macro 50mm F2.8. Both are part of a new lens series with two very exciting aspects: an aperture ring and coverage for the full 35 mm image circle. It seems that the "DA" series (no aperture ring, APS-sensor coverage) aims at low-budget customers whereas the "D FA" is for the professionals and enthusiasts.'
