Indeed it's interesting, also the comparison with the 645N II & the K7.
Would love to see some photos taken with it but we've to wait for that sadly

Is there a way to test it?

I've carefully compared my Samsung 12-24 (link) with a Pentax DA 12-24 and noticed no differences.

Shutter doesn't sound so nice as the K7 but it does seem to be quite quiet.
ps. don't laugh at the translation
Edit, sweet looking mirror mechanism

1. Mount a lens on camera body;
2. Adjust aperture to preference;
3. Press the depth of field preview button.
4. While keeping the button pressed - unmount lens from camera body - aperture stays locked on selected value.
5. Mount the lens on macro bellow.
Pentax lenses will happily spring back to close the aperture, they work differently.
Just get a cheap 50mm lens from ebay, I believe the f/1.7 from Pentax are the best for that because the f/1.4 & f/1.2 DOF are a bit more curved but I can be wrong.
You should be able to get a M50 f/1.7 quite cheaply from Ebay, instead of extension tube you can also reverse mount the lens.
If you want to get very close you should get a 28mm lens

they should stay in the family archives for generations and serve to embarras the bot infront of his grilfriends in a few years' time!

I have Pentax CPLs, the instruction leaflet explains why linear ones dont meter correctly but I dont have it to hand right now.

Just be sure to aim at something with a good contrast, you should help the AF quite a lot if you do that.
