attract new users. :P

Amateur Photographer UK are saying it's a full frame lens (and that
Pentax have a FF DSLR for that matter):
http://www.amateurphotographer.co.uk/news/Pentax_35mm_f24__smc_PENTAXDA_35mm_F24AL_lens_news_301717.html
Relevant bit:
"Pentax is set to add a new 35mm fixed focal length lens [...] that
will be suitable for both APS-C and full frame film and digital
cameras."
What have they been smoking, and can they pass some around???

Hell, it probably is just a minor variation on the FA 35mm f2.0, so it's
not a surprise that it covers a 24x36mm image circle. With no R&D on
the lens to speak of and a very simplified mostly injection molded lens
body.
So Pentax's being cheap completely mislead Amateur Photographer? So
what else is new?
