The past 2 weeks I've been fondling my Canon A-1

wishing I had a digital that felt as solid and as well placed in my hands. I am a neophyte but just adore the build of this tank. The fact I got a 90% LN one off ebay for $40 is astounding.

With the A-1 I have a 50 1.4 and 28 2.8 and a Pentax K10D with an FA31 and FA77. The Pentax lenses are just superb but I am increasingly unhappy with the K10D in particular getting out of focus shots which in truth is probably my fault. The crop has become annoying when I an wanting increasingly wider framing. and a full frame Pentax is looking more and more unlikely.

How can I combine the Pentax lenses with the build and size of the Canon body yet still be digital with the features of a 5D or 5D2? I like film but the cost of buying it, processing it, and scanning it is prohibitive at the moment.

Sorry for the ramble but I tend to put myself within these thought modes that keep me from progressing until I make a decision.

What do you think?
