Ok, I’m not totally switching. Not even partly. Just wanting to see how well the Pentax-F 50/1.7 works on the a5100.
It works pretty well. The only problem is focusing in bright light. What a pain with no viewfinder at all. I think on of those shoe-mount gizmos form the 50s might be in order. Anyway, I shot an image with the K5 & a5100, both with the same lens. Obvious improvements come with both resolution and sensor generational improvements. (Would be fascinating to see that with a current sensor.) I was debating getting a Zeiss for the Sony and maybe a matching one for a K-70. (K-5 is for sale.) Maybe. But I’m wondering about one Zeiss (ZK) and that pricey adapter. Or a 31 & the adapter. Either way all good results. I was also surprised to see how long the K-70 has been on the market. Five years is several lifetimes in the tech world. Amazing. \*\*\* side note. Pentax rear lens caps work for Sony rear lens caps. https://www.flickr.com/photos/101533246@N02/albums/72157719694883175 -- %(real_name)s Pentax-Discuss Mail List To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
