Does it cover full frame?
It is supposed to. That is why I bought it. I forget which page I looked
on. But doing a quick google shows several positive results:

According to dpreview (FWIW) the DA* 55mm F1.4 works in full frame when
stopped-down. It doesn't say how much, but according to them "Ricoh has
published a list of those lenses that will produce relatively useable
results in full frame mode, if the aperture is stopped down.", so I suppose
its official, though I couldn't find the ricoh source with a quick search.

I'd be holding on to the FA50/1.4 myself, for now. The DA55 is my favourite
lens on APS/C, but if it winds up being an F2 or F2.8, then... meh.
