I recently stumbled on a Pz-1p at a good price and bought it - I doubt that I'll use it much but it is a great camera and I do still shoot film. Took it out to test and tried the DA 40mm XR that came with the K-01 on it, just to see how it looked. I tried this earlier on an MZ-S but since I could not directly control the aperture I did not test it systematically.

The DA 40mm XS works very well on the full frame 35mm film body! There is noticeable light falloff at f2.8, noticeable enough to be objectionable, but it is greatly diminished at f4 and more or less gone at f5.6 and beyond. For an f8 and there lens it would be fine. Pretty remarkable considering the small size (and thinness.)
