The LCD and controls on the back would need to be re-worked to conform with current Pentax UI. Otherwise this would be a sweet place to start! I have been thinking of something more alongs the lines of an LX; an LX-D1 would tickle our Retro fancy, the FF sensor would scratch our itch for higher resolution and allow the use of legacy 35mm lenses. But whether it is an MZ-D or an LX-D, it also better have the capability for using Pentax DA* and DA lenses! Those of us who have invested in and committed to the APS-C system need a path to ease into the higher cost FF system. stan -- 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.
