???? Lots of APS-C lenses, perhaps most zooms, won't really cover the full frame sensor, but you can certainly still "use" them. You can use the 50-135 over it's entire length in FF mode but lose corners to vignetting at the wide end which, in turn, can be lightened and reduced by a small crop for a very good center-focused shot at around 30mp. It is a bit worse in that regard than the 60-250, but both are still suitable in FF mode for centered subjects, things like portraiture. IMHO, for an APS-C lens it is still useful on the K-1 and the only reason I don't use it more is that I prefer the 60-250.
