Reading between Boris's lines above (Moore's law/breakthrough), he seems to believe that APS-C does not have long to run and Pentax will supercede the limited-circle lenses with newer, FF ones. So what he is doing is delaying the investment in limited-circle lenses. To me it makes sense. Kostas -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
