Re: M42 ultra-wide

I wasn't the original poster but I still hold to what I said.  If a FF body 
comes out that I can use my lenses on (assuming I could afford it), I would 
have little reason to pickup a digital body with an APS-sized sensor.  That 
means any investment in APS-matched digital lenses is also at risk of not 
being used, or sold for a paltry fraction of the original purchase price. 
Not the end of the world, but...

IMO, the whole marketing of APS digital lenses is a shennanigan.  Knowing 
what I know (which may not be alot), if I was buying into Pentax digital for 
the first time and had no existing lenses, I still would not buy the APS 
matched lenses.

FF lens is not an advantage on a APS camera.
APS lenses have some very good advantages over FF lenses on APS camera.
That was the point of the post. If a lens
is FF it doesn't provide any of the APS lens advantages
I listed... It seems you are just arguing without
considering the point of the post....
Shucks John, I thought the original post was some guy not wanting to buy 
APS lenses when they might be obsoleted by full frame bodies.....
