Glad you liked it, Bruce. As far as being paid to say nice things
about APS-C, I'm not sure what the Pentax sponsorship entails (maybe
Godfrey can enlighten us), but I'm sure it's not enough to keep him
shooting Pentax if he's unhappy with APS-C. He's a pro that needs to
make money, and if FF could get him more contracts and/or improve his
photography he would've gone down that route long ago.
The question of FF was one I asked him personally when I met him and I
wished he would've given me the same reply in writing as he did when
we spoke. He originally said more or less what's printed, but when I
pressed him on the subject and brought up the FF wars in the forums he
said "look, I don't have time to argue APS-C vs FF, my business is
producing photographs that sell, period. My APS-C cameras have never
held me back, and on the occasions when I have needed bigger images,
I've gone with my Pentax 67, and in those situations FF would not have
been any better anyway. That's why I'm buying a 645D, so it can
replace my 67." [Note: I've paraphrased from memory.]
Like most pros I've spoken to, he's a pragmatic chap :-)
