Unfortunately, it's not. Pentax has made its whole lens line obsolete once before and has more than once introduced cameras that will not work properly (maybe _fully_ is a better term) with other than contemporary lenses. DA lenses seem to produce FF images over about 24mm FL (and nobody seems to have tested the more expensive primes for FF coverage) so Pentax would not be cutting the whole of that particular limb off, anyway. > > From: Jack Davis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Date: 2007/05/10 Thu PM 02:19:48 GMT > To: Pentax-Discuss Mail List <[email protected]> > Subject: Re: Pentax - Selling HQ and Apparently Drops 645D > > Irrefutable logic! > > Jack > --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > > Whatever size sensor Pentax uses in the K1D, we can be sure it will > > work with DA lenses.
