See this review. At the bottom is a link to a German Mag. test.
If you can use 35mm the Pentax DA 35m f/2.4 is very good for a cheap lens and it's AF.
Better still would be the FA version.
If you can manage with a 50mm the FA 50mm f/2.8 MACRO would be your best bet.

At the recent CP+ show in Yokahama Japan, DPREVIEW spoke with senior executives from all of the major camera and lens manufacturers including Canon, Fujifilm, Olympus, Panasonic, Ricoh, Sigma, Sony and Tamron.
All spoke about mirrorless cameras becoming soon the norm, That is 'all' except Ricoh who "appeared uninterested in talking about mirrorless development".
Should we be worried...??
End of the dSLR as we know it
A lot of people are switching from Sony A7 etc to Pentax K-1 because the Pixel Shift is so good. This includes excellent photographers like Michiel Schierbeek. He seems to have had a lot of excellent lenses by Zeiss etc. converted to K Mount... Links to his website are in his posts here ......

Comment by Algernon posted on Why Medium Format? at 12/04/2018 - 09:21
I shoot medium format because it is fun to use my 60 year old folders, or the Lubitel 2, and still get remarkably sharp images. Not an auto-anything to be seen anywhere...

I can imagine the uproar if the K-1ii had only had 24MP

The release of Sonys A7iii for the same price as the Pentax K-1 is quite an eye opener .........
24MP compared to 36MP Hardly an eye opener

With optical displays you see everything right down to specks of dust hairs etc.
I would like to see MF improved and it could be done very easily and quickly by taking the BEEP and GREEN hexagon light to the next level. It's already mm accurate but needs lens data to be stored in a lookup table.

They did show good growth, but are still only 54% of DSLR sales in units and that's for the whole sector. A lot of mirrorless sales will be to people buying 2nd/3rd/4th cameras or cameras for video or just buying because they are plain daft
DSLR's fell by about 10% in units or 3.6% in revenue which is why prices have to rise.
