Thanks for the looking, Mark C. I tend to agree so far with your
projected use of FF vs APSC. I do not have a FF macro or even long tele
to do any close-up work. Birding might be great with a FF Pentax &
Paul's new lens, & futile with the Sony A7. In passing, Leica has a new
mirror-less "sports" camera at their usual pricing. It offers one lens-
a 28-90 for sports???

Nice collection of images, Don. I really like the first set - the snowy
scenes.
In many ways I like the effect of the crop factor but will be interested
in seeing how the FF works. I wonder if APS-C will still be the way to
go for macros and telephoto work, while full frame would have the
advantage with landscapes and general shooting. In any case, it's good
to see that the old FF pentax glass seems to hold up well.
