Jozef,

You are right.These pics were a quickie to compare sharpness more than anything else so I enclose 2 images of a local church taken within minutes of each other, See clock. Both images (K1 31mm: SDQ 18-35mm) were under exposed but after some work on Photoshop the Sigma has blown highlights of the sky compared to Pentax.. In other respects the images are not too much the same. To me both images show how useless I can be on days of high contract light!!:-D

Yes, these landscapes are very challenging for any sensor to capture highlights and shadows together.
But those Sony FF sensors can do this, Nikon 750D and Sony 7D, I think they have more then 14 stops. If the Quattro sensor had only about 12 stops ... but it hasn't.

Jozef.

Agreed. If the SDQ had 12 stops or so, I would not be hesitating. I believe DPReview rated my K5 as having at least 14 stops.
