Basically, if a higher MP FF Pentax comes out, any APS lenses would quickly fall into disuse, unless I bequeathed the *ist D to my wife or son (assuming I had purchased the len(es)).

All of this arguing will be moot when they come out with a full frame sensor. FF will yield better results than APS with the same lens and Mp. Even more so with average lenses. As it is you would need lenses with infinite resolution to look as sharp at APS dimensiona as FF dimensions.

Can't argue with you there. Obviously a better product has the potential to produce a better result.
Overall I haven't been unhappy with any of my lenses on the *ist D. But
then again, I *haven't* made critical comparisons. I know in general that I try to avoid the zooms I have, unless they are the only lens for the job at the time. Even they can turnout pretty darn good images or images that are good enough for their intended purpose.
I find it very subjective. If one does not/cannot/will not make a comparison for whatever reason and is happy with the results, and others are happy with the results, then there's little need to split hairs. My laptop screen saver plays my 30 favorite shots. Numerous people comment "wow",
"I'm not ever going to show you my photos", etc., etc. As displayed on my laptop or printed on a small scale I think they're quite nice. Enlarge to poster size, and maybe not.
