Hope there will be a profound review of the DFA* 50 soon, so I can pull the trigger to buy one ;-)

The IQ is not very impressive for a modern lens - or the focus did not fit - the details are a bit blurry below f8. Did someone notice that the Canon in the Image comparison tool has major problems...

There are full size samples on the japanese Pentax website.

Zeiss Milvus 50 1.4

Be sure - it is built like a tank.

I think Canon never claimed to be a great phone maker ;-)

In my opinion the simulated bokeh looks just like an applied photoshop smart blur. The lighting if the face has lost all accents and the guy looks a bit like having a sun burn. Maybe the tester has...

The iphone results are ridiculous in any way.

Even my over ten year old Pentax K-10 has a holder for an extra SD Card within the grip :-)

If released or not by DXO - This camera had always a very good reputation in professional circles. The only problem is, that ricoh/pentax builds awesome products and forgets to tell the world about...

Might be.

Marc, is it you?

I like the Takumar style focus ring.

You are right - since about 3 years we got cameras that do not limit us technically in terms of pure IQ. The human factor ist the most disturbing factor in the complete process of taking pictures.

Good example - I'm am slightly impressed by the KP. As alway best Pentax - bang for the buck. I have to say this - I'm a pentaxian ;-)

I love the picture of the guy in front of the truck!

You are absolutely right. I first used the Pixel-Shift technology with a Pentax K-3 II (24mp) in studio for shooting consumer electronics. The increase of details has been incredible.

I would like to compare, but they are not present in the Image comparison tool on dpr. And I never heart of an 80mpix true color mode of Olympus - You got some infos for me?

I know it is just relevant in doing still lives, but the Pentax K-1 still blasts away any other camera with activated pixel shift resolution in terms of dynamic and noise. And yes the K-1 is worse...

This is useless - What can a GFX-50S for example do better as a 4 years old Pentax 645z in terms of anything? Nothing to be honest.
