"Exclusively for Pentax digital SLR cameras" is how Pentax puts it.
At the moment, Pentax doesn't seem to be preparing in any way for full
frame. I'm okay with that. But it seems to be the reality of the
situation.

I also noticed that B&H lists the DA*60-250/4 in the full frame lens
category on their site, not the APS-C sensor. Could this be the start

Much more
* image quality - sharp and nice right from full aperture
* usability - quite fast SDM AF and weatherproofing
* build quality - solid and quite well balanced
I have had several FA zooms (including one really nice FA100-300
PZ) and
DA50-200 (not fast, but surprisingly good image quality for the
price). Yes,
of course, I would be even happier if DA*60-250/4 would be less
pricey (it's
1550 USD in here and our salaries are not comparable to US or Western
European ones), but I still feel that money well spent..

Well, it's also clearly stated, that no-one is forcing me or you
to buy
it. Nevertheless, I have had my lens now for about two weeks and I'm
extremely satisfied. IMNSHO, it IS much more than my previous long
zooms.

I clearly stated that the DA wouldnt be worth
$1200 more to ME **IF** the image quality were the
same as the A70-210/4. I didnt state the 70-210
**WAS** the same image quality as the DA60-250/4, that's still
unknown
to me at least. I would not assume they are the same IQ nor
specualate
which one's better IQ without serious testing and evaluation
being done
on them.
