79,800 Yen each and only 100 to be made.

So this the third one! Seems that some can get enough of it

The second one with the spread wings is nice and the last one is also super.

Really guys, we are now only going for the name tag here.
I remember some post ago of a new canon with amazing ISO performance, everyone thinks it was a FF sensor but it was an APS-H so really guys do we need FF?
Also nobody answered my question, do you think Pentax can build a DFA & DFA645 complete lens series in 2 years?
Because most of you are serious thinking they can since they will bring out the 645D for sure and that one need lenses also an "upcoming" FF camera should need new lenses so do you think they can do that?

Somehow I still think it's unlikely Pentax will get a FF camera.
Pentax need to maintain 3 lens series then (DA, DFA & DFA645) and I don't see them do that, since they even haven't got the DA range fully in order, still missing some tele lenses. Also they need to fully build the DFA and the DFA645 series at the same time....
Mobile phones are a good example, they have only become smaller and smaller and now they fit inside the pockets of your pants with ease but the quality has remain the same or did the older mobile phones call better?
Over 10 years we will probable have the APS-C sensor quality of today in our phones and who knows how the DSLR looks like then?
APS-C sensors will probable be also more then good enough for most so why use FF if APS-C is good enough?

If smaller and cheaper is enough reason now, what 110 format film system would you have or did use, over 35mm? I ask that question genuinely as I do not see any benefit in smaller than APS-C sensors. As per the link, Pentax don't agree either.
I didn't say we would need to go smaller as APS-C, at least not at the moment. I was trying to say that making things smaller, lighter and cheaper is also an advancement, and one that is seen with a lot of technology today without degrading quality of course!If smaller and cheaper is enough reason now, what 110 format film system would you have or did use, over 35mm?

Are you sure that the Pentax units are from Sunpak? How on earth does Sunpak manage to create such hideous designed flash units themselve?
Funny though that Sunpak hasn't got a dedicated Pentax flash in their lineup (Canon, Nikon and Sony only).
Sounds a bit like Tokina right?Are you sure that the Pentax units are from Sunpak? How on earth does Sunpak manage to create such hideous designed flash units themselve?

Only the AF360 had a battery door problem but I can see that loosing your trust in them, itīs silly the flash should break on such design flaw.
About that Pentax flashes are sunpak, Iīm quite sure Iīve read that somewhere, donīt know where though. Indeed they are quite hideous.
This sunpak is I believe the same as the pentax AF540GFZ link

That makes sense, the barrel is a bit wobbly of the DFA

Think 5 years from know, at that time I think FF will be vastly superior. Pentax on the other hand would be struggling to keep people interested in APS-C by introducing features you either love or hate. We can lament this fact but market logic dictates that every manufacturer put a new top model to market at least every 2 years or so.
Not really though, new types of sensors are being tested so who knows. Also with technology we see everything getting smaller, digital cameras wouldn't be an exception I think.I admit I don't know much about the tech stuff, thus I never heard about pixel pitch before.

Why would someone want a APS-C?
Well because the camera is smaller and cheaper, that's more then enough reason for some.
I'm one of them and if I want more quality the 645D would be interesting, if the price is right.

Clarky thank you for your information.
You indeed need to get very close with the 28mm but you will get twice the magnification as you've now. Would be interested to know why you didn't use the D-FA, I hadn't had a problem with it
ps. my shot is the + side of an AA battery if anyone wonders.
