Not a lot of thoughts really. However if Pentax was really going to
announce a FF K mount camera wouldn't the latest lens, the DA 50 f1.8
which is pretty much one of their 50mm designs going back to oh, I don't
know the middle of the 20th century, and probably covers 24x36mm frames
admirably, be designated a DFA lens? True it doesn't have an aperture
ring, but it wouldn't be the first DFA lens to be released without one.
In the event of a FF camera probably wiith a list price between $2500
and $3500 it wouldn't cannibalize many sales of the FA 50 f1.4 lens with
that camera as the lens cost difference would be a fraction of the total
package price. So either a.) Pentax marketing has their collective
heads where the sun don't shine, or b.) there really isn't a FF camera
that close in the pipeline. I'll not take any bets either way, since
this is not necessarily an either or proposition.

Don't lose heart! They might want to cut it out, and they'll want to avoid a
lengthily search.
