DA31 Ltd on FF samples and 100% crops
Nice detail, but which FF? Has someone converted a DA to Canon mount or suchlike?
Did you look at the photos? The first one gives more than a hint at 'which FF', it actually shows you which camera was used.

I'm not sure I'd want to lose the other features of this lens, though, by sticking it on a metal tube. Too much unnecessary faff - even if such faff was once part of the experience of photography. The lens deserves a Pentax FF, with all it's contacts enabled
