Sorry to offend you Offertonhatter, I just hate to censor it like this C****n, it's just like they are afraid of the word and are calling it the dark side.
Sorry that I make a point out of this, although it's just in good fun of course, but I find it more childish & pathetic then fun to be honest to talk about another brand like that.
Aren't we proud enough about Pentax that we need to protect us like this?
Now back to the topic.
We is a big word you know, I'm not for FF and some others here neither.
I can see the merits of FF but the difference is quite small and the APS-C has matured quite well.
Can you tell me about why you want FF besides noise & dynamic range?
Most of us are already quite impressed with the KX but Sony has already a newer generation of that sensor (exmor R) and I think we can see that pretty soon in APS-C sized cameras and then the difference might be very small with the current FF DSLR.
Also the new type of sensor is getting developed link.
I think the APS-C will win from FF just because they are smaller and are more then good enough for most of us.
ps. sorry of going off topic again

If there are those that don't want FF, would they also be those that don't want medium format?
As for new sensor being developed, with Pentax's time scale it should have been used by Sony, Canon or Nikon for a year or so before Pentax say "hey, this looks good, shall we use it"?
For those here with the 31mm lens, a Pentax FF digital is the body it should be attached to.
FA lenses will also realise the benefit of FF.
Cropped sensors and native lenses were the best way to re-invent the camera and boost sales.
Large sensors rule and always will.

Indeed and that on digital APS-C camera More reach than a 1000mm lens....

Either way you'll see the degradation of the image. Generally only the very best teleconverters are useful and these cost as much as a marque lens.
This is very true. I have tried several converters and eventually ended up buying the "brand name units". I recently acquired the Pentax 1.7AF for use with my M series 200 and 300 lenses. I then tried it with the 50-135 and it works VERY very well, AF speed is awesome!Either way you'll see the degradation of the image. Generally only the very best teleconverters are useful and these cost as much as a marque lens.
Other units are the Sigma EX 1.4 on my 70-200 Sigma EX Mk1 and a Nikon 1.7x on a Nikor 70-200 AFS VR.
Third party converters that are good are Kenko but as John says, they are costly. A good converter is worth the cost.

Excellent shot. Agree with ice cloning.
Just done the calc's, with those steel toed boots on, it has little chance of getting airborne. Maybe a pair of slippers and a strap for the hat.
That said, woe betide anything that gets in its way on the snow...
