I think it was Einstein who said 'If you need to look at Youtube to see if you need a FF Camera..... Then You don't need a FF Camera'

Of course if you shoot birds you will already know that FF isn't the correct tool to use You do don't you!

Where can I buy a cap with the peak at the back?

You bin dreamin!

That website's telling you why you don't need a FF camera

"This combination far exceeds the expectations of full frame cameras ..... "

"However, as the market changes, 35-mm full frame single-lens reflex cameras were released by a number of companies. The quality of pictures produced by PENTAX 645D is as good as them, but the number of pixels has become increasingly similar."

So don't expect a FF from them after thrashing it!

They've also gone back to having pentax in the web address after dropping it
and letting the other addresses go.

Simple! ... If you can't make it better! ..... Make it worse!

Ebay are good at that.

Are they Ink-less ?

I paid £170 for a Sharp calculator in 1970/72? One of the earliest ever made.
That's about £2,200 in today's pennies

Bigger will always be better. That makes it harder to handle/carry and it's also more expensive to buy and (usually forgotten) repair. ...... Just spotted this one Lens Rentals site......

" (Lensrentals insider joke: What do you call a D800 with a scratched sensor? Parts. Because at $1,800 for a sensor replacement . . . )"

Ha! Ha! That's a TC and Ephotozine seem to have the graphs mixed up anyway They show the lens being better with the TC, besides at £350 it's worth more than your camera (or mine).

According to Lens Rentals all adapters are rubbish......

"I won't bore you with another 20 graphs that look pretty much like these. We tried
Leica to NEX and Leica to Micro 4/3 adapters, Canon to NEX, etc. We tried different
lenses on one adapter. It didn't really matter. None of them would be acceptable
for testing. Not one.

I'll point out that we carry only name-brand, fairly expensive adapters, not eBay $29 adapters. "


Sony can't even keep the light out

On the same site they explain that the thickness of glass over the sensor is taken into account in the lens design..... so lenses aren't fully usable system to system.
Micro 4/3 have 4mm of glass over the sensor Leica have 1mm

Hmmm!!!!! ....... Get your quotes right!!!!!!

Anyone putting Good Pentax lenses on a Sony A7R would be safer changing the cheap plastic lens mount for a metal one. Also thanks to Eric for showing how to fix a known light leak on the mount.

Be careful not to scratch the sensor

Change it to Pentax Mirrorless Nonsense

It doesn't exist.... Never will do and certainly isn't serious.

Pentax already have good cameras and lenses. Some are waterproof.

You can't have a waterproof camera that uses adapters which don't even stop the lenses from wobbling. Lenses designed for one system won't work properly on another.

At 15 fps you can only guess at what the camera actually sees.

Focus peaking isn't very accurate and it's slow.....
