Nice collection of images, Don. I really like the first set - the snowy
scenes.
In many ways I like the effect of the crop factor but will be interested
in seeing how the FF works. I wonder if APS-C will still be the way to
go for macros and telephoto work, while full frame would have the
advantage with landscapes and general shooting. In any case, it's good
to see that the old FF pentax glass seems to hold up well.

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.
