Finally some hopeful rumors are surfacing... For Pentax to make their DSLR platform a more viable alternative to Nikon and Canon, latest rumors are that Pentax under Ricoh now is working on a full frame 135 format DSLR.
That would be about time! Luckily a few of their APS-C labeled lenses actually have full frame coverage. How they will then deal with the nomenclature mess will be interesting.
Imagine a K7 sized FF camera. If they can keep the price sensible, it will be an interesting option. And then lets hope they have the sense to bring the lovely 35mm f2 back.

That rumor was started by one dpreview forum user, from his "reliable" source; it is hard to count how many where of them since times of [url="http://kmp.bdimitrov.de/bodies/prototypes/MZ-D.html"]MZ-D[/url]. Looking at recent K-5 price drop and discontinued K-r at some stores, we can expect that Penatx will introduce something
new, maybe in CES 2012; however Pentax clearly stated that FF is not on their plans just few months ago.
