Using a "time" filter, in the search engine, fixes that.

If the FF is K-1, then perhaps it will be the next aps-c camera that starts the new naming format. For example KM-1.

Chris, finished charging the new k-3. Couple of quick shots of the cats (I know) at ISO 3200 show what a good purchase it was. Thanks to you and everyone else at SRS for your service.

I have the 100mm Macro which I would use. I also have a Tamron 28-105mm which I've used with some success on my k-7, and may be ok on the FF (if I can ever afford one!).

The KS-2 picture on Photo Rumors shows a screw drive. I cannot believe that it would be missing from the FF body. I think the new lenses have no screw drive from what I've seen of the mount, could this be the cause of the debate?

Think Sony a900/850, that's what it reminds me of.

- Dust and water structure. Sealing 13 places
- Image circle covers the 35mm format
- Nanotechnology coating of newly developed "Aero Bright coating II"
- HD coating
- Two super ED lens, two ED lens, four abnormal low dispersion lens
- Switch with quick shift focus system selector switch to "QFS / A", "QFS / M", "MF"
- "QFS / A" autofocus priority. "QFS / M" manual focus priority

- Circular aperture
- 3-stage focus limiter
- Lens front to the SP coating
- New development of removable tripod mount (Captive)

I guess having the lens within the motor means the lens will focus ridiculously fast as the motor must be enormous!

I have one. I like its output on my K-7, although it rarely gets used because of my 60-250. The push/pull element is quite stiff and I haven't come across a problem. My only issue is that it came without a hood and I never got round to buying one. Funnily enough I was wondering, earlier today, how well it would work on the hopefully not mythical FF body or whatever replaces the K-3 in the APSC space.

No full frame dreamer, me. I'm happy with APSC, but I do think that what Pentax are showing is an interesting set of full frame capable lenses. The fact that they are due to be released between now and the end of the winter and CP+ is in the middle of February is suggestive. With those three lenses, a 24-70 f2.8 and the existing full frame capable primes the big P would have a reasonably strong entry into the full frame market.
