This is why P.J. will never be a YouTube star. (Why use one word when thirty will do?) :) I think that a lot of what he is going through is what Pentaxians would/will be going through if/when Pentax ever offers a full frame camera. You don't really realize how much you are taking advantage of (relying on) the 1.5x focal length factor (actually equiv. FOV) of the APS-C until you try to replicate your lenses on a full frame system. To try to find lenses that still give you that focal length and maximum aperture becomes an expensive proposition, when it is possible at all. Extreme example: DA* 200mm f2.8 can be bought for under $1K. (More like $700, used) 300mm equiv. FOV on APS-C Move to a full frame, now you need a 300mm f2.8 to replicate that FOV. Price one of those lately? A Sigma is $3400. A more reasonable choice would be a 300mm f4. You've replicated the FOV, but lost a full stop of light. -- 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.
