You've passed Tautology 101, and next you can move on to Kiri-kin-tha's First Law of Metaphysics. But we're talking about the K-mount, which is a mount designed for 24x36 mm film. It incorporates a registration distance appropriate to the mirror box for 24x36 mm. That decision continues to affect lens designs for the mount, no matter what sensor we put behind the lens. It is appropriate to call 24x36 mm "full frame" in the context of this mount. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
