This is the second comment that notes the change of the aperture blades from straight to round. Why is this regarded as a negative change?

Guess: rounded blades give a much smoother bokeh; straight blades give those fine star-effects on pinpoint light sources. So depends on what you're after.

Close?

I guess I think so, and for me star bursts are an irritating hindrance and smoother bokeh an improvement. If people want cheesy starbursts, buy some cokin filters or similar.

I just hope that everyone who's complained about the K-3iii delay actually buys one. One wonders, otherwise, about the sincerity of their complaints.
