Maybe they ought to try a threaded version.

Some photo samples would help too.

645D infrared version? Heh and people worry about a FF Pentax being 'niche'.

Yep the Tamron 90 would cover you really well for both purposes!

Quite. I hear nothing but praise and love from the camera from actual D600 users. Kind of like the K5... there are those who like to shriek and raise a fuss, but real world users seem pretty happy to say the least.despite the problems with the d600 it still remains a very competant and cheap camera.

That seems odd, why of all things a 20-24mm f/1.8?
Well this was shot at 35/2.4 on my Z70 (using the DA35):That seems odd, why of all things a 20-24mm f/1.8?
If for some reason you wanted to replicate that look on a Pentax DSLR, you'd need a 24/1.4 or something like that. It would have to be an amazing lens to be as good as the 35/2.4 is wide open though.
Granted this wide-angle, shallow dof look is a bit of a niche requirement.

Every time I get my films back I wish my DSLR was also FF [quote:3496ace15f="Smeggypants"]I would suggest to that person, go pick up an old 35mm, runs some rolls of film through, if you comeback to me saying - 'That was AMAZING, UNBELIEVABLE, I can't live without it' - then you know what you've got to do, or then again......... you won't.
There's a difference between wishing, and parting with A LOT of money, though

Yes I agree John, I have seen comments from those who are not entirely happy with their investment on FF.
There is a tendency for people to feel they aren't improving in their photography, and look to their equipment to give them that bit of a boost. Inevitably they find out it doesn't work like that, get disillusioned, and often end up returning.Yes I agree John, I have seen comments from those who are not entirely happy with their investment on FF.
This is different from the Markljs and Ben Kanareks who quickly rise to the top and legitimately need/want to upgrade to a system which offers even better IQ, in the right hands!

What we can't quantify is how many photographers avoid/dismiss Pentax becuase of the lack of FF... I have a ModelMayhem account, and a lot of the photographers on there are VERY sniffy about what the call 'crap sensor' cameras.... Ben Kanarek has just joined their ranks
There's no doubt FF offers an advantage for many shooters although my position is APSC is good enough for me, no matter how much FF appeals....

The Google translation version is here in case people find it slightly clearer

an excerpt from the speech of one of the leaders of Pentax: ".. First of all, we are seriously discussing the development of a full-frame SLR camera. We contacted the developer of full-frame sensors and translate to the stage of the development process to create the final product.
When viewed from the perspective of "a new SLR", for us there is no difference between creating crop and full-frame cameras: we have everything you need to create a full-frame camera after getting your hands on the appropriate sensor and that the necessary development cycle. However, we believe that there should be a marked difference between explicit and sprinkled the full-frame camera as on the quality of the images and on the part of the options available to the user when shooting. This is the reason why we left almost alone in the production of DA lenses: we thought (and still think that it will be difficult to show a clear difference between the consumer and kropnutyh full-frame cameras.
Well it just confirms what we already really know - Pentax are looking seriously into FF but are reluctant to formally commit to it.an excerpt from the speech of one of the leaders of Pentax: "..
