Argument 1 is incorrect. The economics of cropped sensors will see them continue on the low end, and there will be higher-end bodies as cropped sensors have large advantages for certain types of work (Many wildlife shooters prefer them for the greater pixel density). So a market for good cropped glass will remain.
I certainly agree that the market for FF lenses will rise in value, which is a real issue for pentax shooters as the really desirable glass is already rare and expensive. This may well drive people to other brands (It was a major factor in my switching back to Nikon). -Adam On Sun, Apr 13, 2008 at 11:38 AM, J. C.
