I've had someone print a 24x16 from a cropped Pentax Q shot. They were quite happy with the result.
Bear in mind that lower pixel density means less noise in the final result which is why FF and MF don't require it increasing, it's really good as it is.

I'm thinking most Pentax users are buying Pentax lenses which means Sigma have a lot of K mount lenses to get rid of and they have no wish to make matters worse. I'd feel the same if I was Sigma. Buy them or loose them.
It is worth considering that Pentax cameras have correction profiles for Pentax lenses but not for Sigma ones. Sigma's 8-16 doesn't even report the wider focal lengths to the camera.
If it's Sigma lenses people want, buy a Sigma DSLR or mirrorless. Problem solved. But would you expect to get Pentax lenses for it or moan if you can't?

I have to say this is a big blow to Pentax, despite what some say. They provide some lenses that have been very popular indeed (17-50/2.8, 10-20 etc) and which don't really have an equivalent from Pentax or another third party make, die to either significant price or quality difference.
I believe those lenses are still available brand new from retailers if you wish to buy them. Do you want links for them?I have to say this is a big blow to Pentax, despite what some say.

Are Pentax signalling coming out of the APS C market and concentrating on FF or even worse?
No, in your own words Sigma are!Are Pentax signalling coming out of the APS C market and concentrating on FF or even worse?
But what if Pentax were to concentrate on FF for a while. Having introduced a FF body they'd be a bit stupid not to support it would they not given there's a plethora of APS-C lenses available already?
I don't get it that we must have something new every week. There are more gaps in the FF range than in APS-C where just about every usable focal length is available.

I shall continue to think on this matter!
Well use a more local dealer then :Slight hiccup - they're in Watford. I'm in S. W. Wales. I don't know whether it's economic for me to drive there and back to test a camera for an hour...
I shall continue to think on this matter!
eg Carmarthen Cameras, Zion Chapel, Mansel Street, Carmarthen SA31 QX
Believe it or not SRS isn't the only Pentax retailer in the UK.

I'll provide this link in case you've been tempted that the grass might be greener on the other side of the fence. Would put me off for sure.
