Absolutely agree. It is very good already wide open, and stopped down for landscape, paired with the very good Lightroom lens profiles, I really don't feel I am missing out. I got it as a kit at a ...

> DFA28-105/3.5-5.6 lens is just cheap walk-around lens for hiking, it IS NOT lens for any serious work that demands FF camera. Unnecessary condescension. Stopped down as you have to for landscape ...

There are some work arounds you can do with modern-ish lenses. There is a generic AF adapter (variable extension tube principle) for E-mount and adapters for Pentax where you have a ring to move ...

If you can say what you are looking for in FF, then that might illuminate which camera is the right one for you. OTOH, there are number of highly capable APS-C cameras available from Pentax that ...

Excellent reporting by someone who clearly understands the situation and has a good idea of the industry.

I have used filters between adapted lenses and a mirrorless camera and found that due to the angle-dependent focus shift of a plano-parallel glass plate, that was not as problem free as I hoped. Bu ...

> The only advantage of mirrorless is the ability to get rid of the mirrorbox I can think of a few more: Focus off the sensor is more precise. Manual focus peeking help Exposure preview (within limits)

Good point, seems like an updated chart. From 640 onwards, the 7Rii is still noticably better. Dual gain, probably.

The original K-1 is very close to ISO invariant already, two stops from 800 to 3200 is really nothing remarkable. You are not showing us any before-after comparisons. Relying on your subjective ...

...and I think its failure in the market place is not just because the market for a K-mount mirrorless was (too) small. The K01 is lacking by today's standards and -more pertinent to your point- ...

I think it is quite clear by now that it is next to physically impossible to get the benefits of traditional pixel shift in this "dynamic" way. I have a long list of other technical solutions that...

Great!
Now please please PLEASE review the "improved" noise performance. So much assumptions swirling around.

I still have to see proof that correctly done lowpass filtering in post is worse than a low-resolution lens doing the lowpass filtering during the exposure.

jnd, you've made two comments here that imply imperfection=better and imperfection=more creative. I think you are wrong on both counts.
Also, Lomography used to be a movement of simplicity and...

Oh yes, absolutely, EVF! It just makes for so much more stable holding, especially with longer lenses - not to talk about advantages in harsh light.

Thank you for giving Pentax a feature interview.

Nothing earth-shattering, although it is great to hear a firm yes to the K3iii and the GRiii (I'm only interested in the former). IMO Pentax...

If you want a dedicated body for manual focus lenses, you won't be happy with the current AF-optimised focus screens IMO.  And using live view on a dSLR where you have to hold the camera at arm's ...

Not sure if you are serious, but a used Sony A7 or even Canon 5D (both the Mark I) with an OM adapter are a much better way to use your OM lenses.
