Some would argue that you should choose Medium Format over Full Frame

In the days of Film this may have been quite true but digital cameras are far more capable than film ever was, crop sensor cameras are quite capable of producing stunning images, the only real difference between choice of formats now is related to depth of field and wanting to print billboard sized image, if your not bothered about either then crop sensors will work every time.

I wonder how many National Geographic images are taken with a Pentax:

DA* 300mm is officially rated "designed for FF" by Pentax patent US7715116 (copied and pasted from Pentaxforums).
Interesting, so why didn't they call it a DFA*

Yes Alan had two Stents fitted, I even watched them doing it on a big telly.....a bit scary like!.
Join the club then, mind you I only had one Stent done, they did the second two days later while I was having a second heart attack

Watching it on the monitors is quite interesting though, it's only scary if they go in trough your groin, then you have to spend a few hours flat on your back with frequent visits from the nurses, checking that you've not sprung a leak and bleading to death
I think the preference nowadays is to go in through the wrist, those bands they put on are a lot safer than a sticking plaster round the groin

But shouldn't your camera be in that holster
I spent ages (well a few hours) converting that gun and it still wouldn't take any pictures, despite all the cogs and bits of copper and brass.

You may be better off hanging on to it for when Pentax release a full frame DSLR, it may increase in value as the current DA*300 is designed for cropped sensors.

Have you considered starting out with a secondhand DSLR, something like a K10D would set you back around £200 from a dealer and probably cheaper if bought privately, you could also start a thread in the classifieds here to see if anyone has one they're wanting to sell.
