P.J., I've thought the same thing often; I'd love to give my prime lenses double duty, like using the 50mm f/1.2 on full-frame for a low-light normal FoV. Saves me having to buy a DA* 30mm f/1.2 (ha ha ha ha). I'm not going to hold my breath though. --M. -- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- http://www.EnticingTheLight.com -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
