I think you are confusing some of the DA lenses doing a better job of rendering images vs FF lenses on DSLRs with doing a better job of rendering images vs FF lenses on APS DSLRs. I will say it again, I believe that some, possibly most prime FF Pentax lenses, can and will give a better result on FF DSLRS than the BEST DA lenses on APS DSLRS, once a good FF DSLR body is available to fully utilize what FF lenses were designed to do.

The improved contrast of having autofocus? The increase of sharpness due to not having an auto-aperture? Bullshit. If you're too damn lazy to use manual lenses, just say it. It has nothing to do with picture quality, except in the context of operator error/incompetence/laziness. -Cory If you only consider one parameter when you are making an equipment purchase you are a fool. Glass quality is certainly the most important part of a lens buying decision, but it isn't the only part. In context, a couple of people on list have noted that the newer lenses do a better job of rendering images onto the DSLR sensor. Isn't that what's important? When you start shooting large format cameras and hump 50 or more pounds of equipment into the field, when you win a few awards with your pictures, and when you start earning a living with your camera (all of which I have done), you can start talking to me about operator error/incompetence/laziness. Until then, you are just another person who doesn't know what they are talking about pissing into the wind.
