Not everyone, Darren. At best I find it mildly interesting but the
hyper-activity on the Pentax Forum at DP Review is wonderfully
entertaining...
I'm in both camps: I'm excited about the upcoming full-frame camera
but also very much entertained by the fuss on DPReview and
PentaxForums. A lot of the speculation and measurbating (minute
analysis of the photos of the mock-up) is unintentionally hysterically
funny.
I'm with Mark on that, particularly since I don't assume that the mock
up will have any serious connection to the final form of the real camera.
I think that it could be fun to buy vintage glass, but there aren't
really too many old school lenses that I really *need*, in that they
wouldn't really provide any functionality that I don't already have
access to. What I'd really like are some copies of lenses that I
already have, but with weather sealing, quick shift focus and modern
coatings.
It turns out that the two lenses that would do the most for me
functionally are both Sigma, the 18-35/1.8 and their 35/1.4.
