You don´t know, I don´t know, but I would have been surprised if nobody at Pentax hasn´t tried it.
Anyway, what I do know is this: FA100mm 2.8 macro and A*135 1.8 are not as great on APS size digital as on film and they´d probably be even worse on FF dslr, while others perform as usual. DA14 and DA21 perform better on APS dslr than their FOV counterparts did on film so with an exception for a 15mm FOV counterpart I get better wide angles with APS sensors. Would I spend lots on money (FF is and will always be much more expencive than APS) on the chance that some old lens would be as good on FF dslr as it used to be on film? NO! I prefer a cropped 645 lens on a 645D. So to me FF is not an issue regarding old lenses. DagT Den 13. okt. 2006 kl. 20.42 skrev J. C.
