with their a7 line. Despite the similar naming convention, they
aren't the same camera (at all) but each seem to have a radically
different sensor inside and

Actually most lenses that aren't retrofocus put out a fairly flat
field. Longer lenses are telecentric by design. The curved sensor
approach doesn't work with telecentric lenses since the light rays are
all parallel. You need a matched lens to get real benefit from it and
the benefit comes in

But will it stimulate your aperture?
I have a couple of drawers worth of manual focus glass in a variety of mounts,

The A7 has been disruptive and this will prove even more so. I know
more than a few photographers that are buying them or are seriously
considering it. Adding IBIS kind of seals the deal for many people.
I'd be more interested if their were more affordable native lens
options. Part of what has

I would imagine that JC is speaking from the perspective of someone
who already has an inventory of Pentax glass. And in that case he may
be right if one puts the emphasis on his use of the word direct.

Just one other thought regarding the a7ii and contrasting with Pentax...
Sony's announcing this camera prior to Black Friday and then
announcing that it will be available/shipping for the holiday season
will result in a lot of additional sales for them. Pentax NEVER seems
