Jostein,
Does the rear element of that 35mm f/3.5 have digital coating?

Hi Jostein,
It's not a whine or a rant. It's something I've thought for years...
that Pentax should/would have a full frame DSLR. Obviously Pentax

And this is what any future Pentax FF DSLR has to live up too. It
wouldn't be enough to just put a FF sensor in a camera with the K20D

Unfortunately, the common wisdom seems to be that if you can't make the
photo with a Pentax you are a crap photographer who needs to gain more
skills, or that epic fail of apologism, that being the Pentax sits several
hundred dollars under the price of the competition, so the comparison isn't

Yes, that's pretty sad. Is it mechanical or electronics that are
failing? It would seem that the lens would have plenty of travel to
sort things out mechanically. Is it weak electronics?
I get better results with the DA60-250/4 at the short end with
autofocus wide open than with most other

Tom,
Your comments strike a chord with me.
I've owned Pentax gear since starting with an ME in 1978.

Are you using selective autofocus? I use a single point for focus

I don't think it's so much a matter of Pentax moving up to full-frame
as full-frame coming down to Pentax's current demographic. Right now
the entry point for full-frame is $2000 (U.S.) but absolutely no one
believes it's going to remain that high.
