Why would anyone want a 24 x 36 Pentax?
• To be able to use existing full-frame lenses

APS-C bodies
• To avoid needing to buy expensive full-frame glass
• To have a *vastly* wider selection of lenses available (fisheye,
ultra-wide and super telephoto)
• To be able to use affordable lenses on occasion
• To have the option of third-party glass
• To have in-body image stabilization
• To have smaller/lighter kit than medium format
• For faster frame rate when necessary
Full-frame 35mm and Med format are very different type systems with
relatively little overlap.
Sadly I'm not sure that I really care anymore. Most of my collection of
existing lenses are K and M. If Pentax doesn't fully support open
aperture metering with those lenses, I won't use them enough anyway. It
doesn't matter how good optically the K 135mm f2.8 is for example if I
never use it.
