Full frame yes. It will come, maybe in a few years , but it will come, and don't expect the camera to have it to be any bulkier than current Pentax DSLRs. If anything, expect them to get smaller. With all electronic equipment things will never get bigger as technology advances. I can see a full frame DSLR being the same size and weight as an MX/LX within 5-10 years costing less than a current K100D Super. NO problem, I'll take money on it. You will also be able to select to use a smaller portion of the sensor to enable use of small sensor specific lenses. Or you can crop down anyway so your lenses won't be redundant. The only worry to me would be that the definition available would demand a whole new range of lenses for the pro/serious brigade to make maximum use of the bodies capabilities.

Well said.

I don't think it needs cropping anymore as it gives the right sense of isolation.

Yes he does. As many as he can get into. And he likes to blow bubbles on the birthday cake!

That's not cute, it's horrid. It reminded me more of the film than the first one. You know, the bit where he is having something to eat with the girl!

It must be warm up there in Leeds, 'cos I haven't seen a fly yet this year. I saw some midges the other day swarming in the garden, but I think they might be a bit too small (there's a challenge Clarky).
On the cost, $100 US sounds damn cheap to me. I've just been having a look on eBay and I can't find anyting like that or else I'd be bidding! I think you dropped lucky there Clarky, like Robby from Liverpool getting that dirt cheap Tamron 90mm! I've just bought the Sigma 70mm new for £219 cos I couldn't find anything secondhand that I fancied

Love the fly, but you could have waited for the spider to arrive!

I would try AV ( aperture priority) first. This lets you set your depth of field/best setting for optimum sharpness for a given lens.
Try using f8 in AV to start with. If you want more things in front and behind the thing you are actually focusing on to be in focus then go to f11 or f16.
If you want only the one thing you are focusing on to be sharp and everything else to be a bit blurred go to f5.6 or lower.
AV ( aperture priority) will teach you a lot about depth of field if you take lots of shots of the same subject at different f values.
If you like try taking a series of shots of the same subject starting at the lowest f value of the lens on the camera (say f4.5) and work up to f22 and look at the difference.Pick a subject with things in front and behind of the main item you are focusing on.

I have one of these for my K100ds which I like a lot. Plenty of power and good value.

My next door neighbours are moving house this week, I could have had a field day when the removal van was being loaded
