Nope, I was just supporting Rob, who obviously wants a larger sensor than just 15x24mm. It's less than half of a "normal" negative. So do I, BTW. I want it to be big enough to be adequate for actually "makeable" lenses. Small enough to give me great DOF.
The small sensors do - as the resoultion is increasing, require more and more of the lenses ability to resolve. This means HUGE expenses on lenses. Who wnats that? That's a fair statement, I believe. I would very much like to have a FF sensor, but it seems they are not (yet) quite good enough (soft corners?) Who the h... says that a 15x24mm sensor is the "ultimate answer" to the sensor size? Perhaps it's not 24x36mm either. Perhaps it's actaully 20x29mm! Canon seems to think so. Why not listen to the expeters - they probably sell more DSLR's than anyone else? Canon is currently setting the DSLR standards - whether you like it or not. I don't really want to switch to Canon. The problem is - I may have to, if Pentax can't deliver a "state of the art" DSLR sometime soon: 5-8 FPS, as well as correspondingly fast AF and write speed. Pentax seem to be way behind as far as speed goes. Come on, Pentax - try to catch up, will you, pleasw? Before the very last "pentaxians" are leaving too - except of course, for a handful of true "believers" from the Spotmatic and LX generation! LX was twenty years ago, right! Tell me to shoot action using maunal focus! Heck - I can do that with one of my Exakta VX1000 - from the sixties! Or a K1000!

It doesn't count as full frame, which I believe is what you were implying in a previous post. I could be wrong about your intent though. William Robb -- No virus found in this incoming message.
