Pentax seem to brand themselves as a Field Camera in recent years. So their FF, with suitable lenses, should appeal to the landscape and outdoor photographer, whether you make a living with your camera or not.

Hm! I also have a home studio, and I've used my flagship K-mount cameras and mid-focal-length lenses for that use. And I've shot with a K-3 mounted on a boom arm over the subject, controlled via the FluCard with a laptop.

One of the uses I've envisaged for an FF camera for some time is studio work, where the weight of the camera and its lenses won't be very important. I want to see how the FF camera plus my DA* 55mm f/1.4 works. I bought that lens primarily for portraiture, but in an APS-C camera my studio is barely big enough for it. I think it will work well on an FF camera, given that it is an FF lens.
