Check out TOUGEFC on the other forum. The shots he takes of his kids would simply not be possible on APSC. (I'm sure he uses the camera for more serious things too. OTOH for a dad who is also a photographer, getting beautiful shots of your own kids is probably a serious matter!)

It's an incredible lens for the price eh? I love mine. Oh for an AF version with the same optics!

I don't see a watermark on many of your images, Jon. I don't mind watermarks that are tasteful and not plastered across the middle of the shot (as with yours and Gary's). It's the amateurish looking ones that bother me. And the ones that grace not-so-brilliant shots. Seriously chaps, no one's going to want to steal your OOF shot of a bird table etc...

Could you post a full shot so I can tell how big the line actually is?

Looks terrific, but there's a bright spot above his head.

Nice images Gary, I like the deep blue sky. In the second image I want the moon to be a bit further right, so it isn't so perfectly lined up with the crane / fairground ride thingy, and falls on the third.

Peter, there's a mix of modern but (relatively) cheap lenses like the Nikon 85/1.8G, as well as pre digital lenses. The FF crew on PentaxForums do buy some expensive glass, but they still get a kick out of getting excellent results from cheaper, or legacy, lenses.

Must be the residual Pentaxian in them!

I find it best to do your sharpening after any resizing.

You might find that what looks horrid on screen prints OK though!

Not 100% true, becuase a lot of people on the other forum are jumping up and down about the results they are getting on their D800s with fairly low priced 35, 50 and 85mm primes. And justifiably so!

That I agree with, and it's why some people bounce back to APSC, all disillusioned, and others stay with full frame. They have the skill to exploit the format to the fullest. If your APSC pictures are a bit lacking, full frame will definitely NOT help.

This 2nd question is one which does have me slightly concerned with any new Pentax FF which might appear..there's little to no "user data" out there so early adopters might find that some of the old full frame lenses aren't quite up to the job.

There are a lot of shots taken on Canon with Pentax M42, K and FAltd lenses. And they all look excellent, as you'd expect of good quality lenses originally designed for 35mm. People might find their old consumer zooms from the 1980s might not stand the test of time though!
