Me too i will never buy a Sony camera. It has the worst ergonomics and the ugly bodies besides the very ugly Canon RP.

I moved from Pentax to Sony years ago a did not regret it for a second.

Good for you.

I have no clue what you are talking of.

But I do have more than a clue what he's talking about: I agree about the ergonomics (less about the ugliness though, the A7 series at least looks fine IMO).

All brands are different and each manufacturer has its own philosophy of camera layout. The differences between manufacturers are so small that they for sure do not limit the photographer.

We can usually work around a camera's interface and ergonomics, but why make things more unpleasant?

A Sony body... is an amazing piece of engineering; but it's optimized more for cost and simplicity rather than ergonomics (thus the mount fiasco and light leaks). I'm not dissing Sony for that; dissing other brands is something I thoroughly avoid out of respect of their users. It's to understand that we have reasons to prefer Pentax.

DFA 21mm LTD is my dream lens for street photography. Sharpness is not my main factor to buy a lens it is only the rendering so iam love Pentax and stick with it.

That's the problem of Pentax, limited lens selection and no third party support with modern AF lenses. So bugs like bad corner sharpness of expensive lenses are talked nice and are called "the only rendering" ;-).

None of my Pentax lenses have bad corners, though. Are you sure you're familiar with these modern options? If you left Pentax a while ago...

It would be fun to have a bunch of pics at same focal lengths and let folks judge whether the can find out which manufacturer it was taken and if the can find their "brand rendering". I believe this would be more guessing than identifying.

You could try to reproduce the D FA 21mm's look by shooting close-up pictures with your Sony 20mm, if you have it.
