There's not really enough fine detail on that to tell you very
much from that test and the one on the right looks OOF.
Postage stamps with fine detail such as some Irish ones are
good for testing.
The Kit-Lens is at it's worst at 50/55mm. Better at 28-35mm
My copy of the F 35-70 is OK as a small carry about lens.
The A f/4 version is a lot better, but loses the advantage
of AF.
Quite a lot of the Pentax small zooms are equal to the
50mm primes at f/4
It did quite well in a test report by PP Mag quite sharp
wide open at 35mm. Possibly at it's best at 50mm f/8 and
good at 70mm f/8. Looks still usable at f/22
The MTF graph looks good and the edges aren't far behind
the centre.

Looks a nice place. The 2nd one's my favourite

Interesting even though I don't like HDR effects. Good captures.
You can tell it's Heswall anywhere else and they would
have been set on fire long ago
Someone I know who lives in Heswall once told me that they do
actually have vandals..... they keep knocking their
golf balls off the golf course into their garden

With a little help from a Dremel, Nikon, CZ or OM lenses will fit
Pentax but, Nikon won't quite focus at infinity. Canon have a
major advantage in that their mount allows thinner bodies and
most lenses from other marques will fit with an adapter.
It also gives them the advatage of a thinner body.
Also don't forget that the OM system took over 5 years to develop
so don't expect Pentax FF for quite some time.

So is a FF I think the Nikon 600 and 800's were somewhere in the 50's in the Japanese top sellers last week. Mind you the Pentax K-30 was in there with them. A year or so ago the Pentax K-r was at something like No: 12 Were would a Pentax FF be No: 500?..... Pentax need to push like mad on the APS-C front to get back in the top 20 ratings... unfortunately the forums aren't helping with all the bickering about FF Surely the 645 is a largely specialist / extreme minority type of item?.....

Both great.... the detail in the old stone around the
sign in the bottom right of No: 2 is really good
