with aps you are working with smaller format, thus making the lenses more critical. true you are dealing with the sweet spot of FF lenses but not all FF lenses have noticable corner problems. On 2/6/2015 8:05 PM, Darren Addy wrote: and a lot of the people will find out that FF puts less demand

Re: Your guess on the Pentax Full Frame specs?

That's been my point all along. I keep K-5 for backup/AF/flash photography. This is where mix match of cameras and lenses with or without adapters won't work. When my K-5 bites the dust (given that I have less than 20,000 frames on it, it may take time), I would probably buy a full frame body a

My guess is that it will be around 36MP, and will have better per pixel performance than the K-5. I expect that it will have all of the cool new features that are on the K-3, K-S1 (except for gratuitous blinkenlights) etc. Other than the improved sensor, I don't expect a lot of additional features

Right. I've got Pentax-K-to-Leica-M adapter of highest quality and A 50/1.2 that I occasionally use this way. However, I don't expect new camera to be very good at precision manual focusing for 50/1.2 lenses. Pentax will want you to buy new glass... Boris On 2/6/2015 20:53, J C OConnell wrote

Re: Your guess on the Pentax Full Frame specs?

Canon makes their own sensors, and I have no doubt that they are capable of building a 46mp sensor, so I wouldn't bet the farm it isn't home grown, also just packing 46mp in 2/3 the real estate of the most common medium format sensor will lead to degraded performance. Physics is a bitch and mu

Re: Your guess on the Pentax Full Frame specs?

I'm not an expert on Canon, but if they are going to 46MP it will be a Sony sensor in the camera (not a Canon sensor). I think Canon has been stuck realizing that they were at the end of the line as far as competing successfully with their own sensors. So it is probably where a Pentax FF will be g

The D810 has a pretty nice sensor, if Pentax do as they often do and can wring a bit more out of it than the other makers it should be a nice camera, sensitivity, noise and DR wise. On 6 February 2015 at 23:21, John wrote: > On 2/6/2015 4:02 AM, Malcolm Smith wrote: >> >> Brian Walters wrote: >
