AWB simply corrects the coloour temperature based on integrating to a grey point, but that can mean the character of the light can be removed. I tend to use Daylight as my setting, to retain the natural colour of the light. The exceptions would be Tungsten and Fluorescent where these need to be set to give a reasonable colour to the light.

When I bought my SP1000 the range also included the first three K models plus the medium format cameras. The screw thread lenses also continued to be available for some years after the bayonet mount was introduced.

By the way John, the jump from APS-C to Full Frame is approaching that of 35mm to 6*4.5 - not insignificant.
APS-C to 645D is what I'm after and I suspect that it will be a big enough jump.

The design is by its nature more "boxy" but it works very well and it is definitely suitable for use "in the field" as well as the studio.

One of these is when using the f1.2 lens which fails to meter correctly at f1.2 and I think also at f22. It's down to the limitation of the metering system.

It looks like Sigma and any others will have to fill the gap for now.
Pentax could surprise us of course.
