New to PENTAX, could use help....

I posted a different thread, but I'd like to start this with some speicific questions and hope to get some insight.

I'm keeping my A7S for video, but I'm probably going to add a couple PENTAX bodies for shooting weddings.

I don't know anything PENTAX so please pardon my noob questions:

  • What SONY would you compare the K3 to?
  • How does the K3 differ to the K3 II?
  • What SONY would compare to the K50?
  • How do I manual focus legacy glass?
  • I hear there's a fullframe coming out - Is it worth waiting for that?
  • Are there full frame lenses for PENTAX?

I'm not trying to be cheap, just trying to find some kind of comparison for me to know what to expect.

I have a fair selection of PENTAX legacy glass, and I like the selection of glass available for wedding work. The glass for SONY full frame is just killing me, so I'll keep the A7S bodies for shooting video.

Sorry for all the questions, and I really appreciate any feedback you can provide.

Tony
