Some splendid shots there. Can they really get that much better? The old
glass can still do OK for most people. Several of the shots in the
greenhouse look like parts of my garden, butterflies & all (but different
species). Of course, the "wideness" or "shortness" of the lenses is just a
perception - a 28mm is still a 28mmm - we have just become trapped in APSC
crop factor mode.

Subject: Geso: photos taken with Pentax mount glass on full frame camera
As rumors of a Full Frame camera are getting closer to fruition, I
wondered how my pentax mount glass would work. Borrow Lenses offered me
17 days for a 7 day rental price over the holidays. So I rented a Sony
A7II. My full frame lens collection consisted of Pentax 28mm, 28-70 &
70-200 Tamrons, a 50mm Pentax 42 screw mount Sears labeled 50mm, A
Tokina 70 to 200, a Sigma 28mm and Rokinon 14 mm. These photos are the
results of my shooting. I did not take notes on which lenses I used for
the pix and of course the exif is no help. If there is a specific one of
the above lenses you want me to test, let me know and I will post that
one. Most are non or slightly cropped except the one of all colored
glass which is maybe a 90-100% crop. Used a $15 adaptor. I had no Sony
native lenses to use.
My general impression of FF is nice bokeh and low noise even even after
pulling the shadows up from black. The biggest surprise for me was how
wide a 28mm is and how short a 200 mm is.
Here are the links to two sets; would be happy to get your opinion on
the photos and to answer any questions you might have.

And a second one on an afternoon in a Botanical Center with butterflys &
