However, I admit I would consider buying a Pentax 24x36 DSLR, while I
don't
think about the 645D as a possible target of mine.
I don't think I would. If the K-5 is good at High ISO and the AF is
improved over K20D I can't see the reason why I would need it. > The
combination of ISO6400 and SR is more than enough for my use.
I've made a 60x90cm print from of a K20D picture (the same that was in the
Chicago exhibition) so resolution is good enough
(for me). The only difference would be in stop difference in DOF, but
it's not worth the extra cost or size.
I would like to see a DA*24 2.0 and a DA*35 1.4 to match the DA*55. They
would be expensive, but not as expensive as a new camera system.
I fully agree, as I've spent hours and hours supporting that point of view
here and elsewhere. I strongly believe that 99% of the photographers have no
real need to go beyond APS-C, and the new-generation APS-C sensors will
raise that percentage even more, but... there are a few exceptions when
dealing with specific applications such as shooting moving subjects in very
dim light. Last year I've lost a job opportunity after my ballet pics (shot
with K20D @3200/6400) were compared to those taken with a Nikon D3s and a
D700. The customers agreed my pics were better varied and pleasant from the
artistic point of view, but not all of them allowed large prints (a critical
issue), while the shots of the Nikon guys were "good enough" and allowed
larger prints on a more consistent basis :-(
Now the K-5 is approaching that performance, but A D700-like Pentax would
establish full balance. So I could consider buying such a camera (or its
equivalent based on the technology of that era) if/when it will be
introduced (never, afaik) and adding a m43 system for minor
accomplishments/leisure.
