we can use older lenses from SLR days

Yes in some cases, and also some would cause vignetting as they would not cover the "full" frame.

Apparently the 60-250mm works fine with no vignetting on a 35mm film camera. Seems Pentax are looking at FF some time in the furure.
I understood that the 60-250 is not a new design but an adapted older design :

There have been many discusions about this one and it doesn't seem likely that pentax will go FF.
The biggest problem I see that some DA lenses don't work FF but also Pentax needs to support 3 lens lines then, APS-C, FF and MF. I don't see pentax/hoya doing that to be honest and I rather have them focused on APS-C then on FF for getting better lenses and as it can also cheaper.
I see way that many wants a FF but technology is moving quite fast with these image-sensors so maybe over 4 years we can have the FF quality in APS-C and in a smaller body.
The lenses of APS-C are also quite a bit lighter and cheaper so, please Pentax don't go FF.

Also, most digital lenses are made to take advantage of APC size sensors. So if the sensor becomes full frame, does that mean the lenses won't take full advantage of it, since they are optimised for a smaller area?
Many thanks, in advance, for all your help
