detail looks very poor.
At least it seems better with the Pentax lens than the
Sony FE 35mm f/2.8 Sonnar ZA seen here... link

Everything seems to say.......
Availability : "last pieces available"
Doesn't exactly impress a prospective customer
We have loads available would be better

I take it you don't want anyone to nip round and break a window

When I first looked at the original photo I thought that must be
a very wide angle lens due to the slope of the left side of the
roof....... certainly couldn't do that with a tele. Now from the
link I see it was 16mm..... Shot No. 5 looks closer to a normal
lens.

I like the leaning verticals which to me identify the shot as
being taken with a wide and lens...... Don't take any notice
of the people who say it could be done with a tele!

What I don't like with the camera at eye level is that a WA also
looks down on top of the shoes which looks odd, but it also makes
them look bigger
A 100deg WA lens in a studio or room in one corner can get the
other 3 corners in the shot....... Impossible to do with a normal
or tele because optically they behave differently

don't try FULL LENGTH shots with a WA, especially with women
either clothed or wearing bikinis. The distortion between body
an legs is just too great. You have to get well back. No point
even thinking about it in a small studio.
Ralph that 1st shot is very nice, but the head is too far to the
left.
The Gainsborough type backgrounds came out in the 70's designed for
use with 6x6 cameras.

Maybe Ricoh could have a Pentax rebadged A7 with a full-featured lens adapter that would allow for AF and metering with Pentax lenses….. Imagine…
