If and when Pentax does introduce a full-frame camera, I suspect it would be along the lines of this. However, they're going to need lens support ready at launch time, which means a full selection of SDM full-frame lenses, or at least something along the lines of the 16-50, 50-135 and 60-210. We still don't even have the 60-210 in DA configuration. They have a long road to travel. But I'm good with where they are now. By the time Pentax gets around to full frame, it will be at a price point the brand can support. Paul On Jul 1, 2008, at 8:12 AM, Mark Roberts wrote:
