"Canon EOS-1D X Mark II Vs. Nikon D5"
Answer Options:
1) I'm a Canon user and I'm excited about the 1D X II (13.1%)
2) I'm a Canon user and I don't care about the 1D X II (10.8%)
3) I'm a Nikon user and I'm excited about the D5 (13.1%)
4) I'm a Nikon user and I don't care about the D5 (9.9%)
5) DSLR is yesterday's news. Bring on the pro mirrorless! (38.9%)
6) Canon? Nikon? I'm waiting for the Pentax full-frame (14.2%)
Sample to date: 5,375
So, slightly more DLSR users are interested in the Pentax FF than the latest Canon & Nikon. Maybe because if things run to form it will be cheaper.

can the MX-1 take a screw-in filter? In know it has a bult-in ND filter; I'm thinking of a circular polariser.
Als0, can focussing be assigned to the 'AV / AE-L' button?

I have one of these and it is very good when I can. I use the Peak Design two-part wrist strap with it so it is always attached to me somehow.
The only problem I have is that it isn't deep enough (screw length) to fit the rucksacks that I use regularly. I suppose I could look for some longer screws or ask Peak Design if they could offer some longer ones. The screws have wide tops with knurled edges to enable them to be tightened by hand.
If you get a chance, try one out on the bags / straps you are likely to be using.

The K3 is also at the same price and in the next picture, so pgweber's caution applies here too.

Hi Bruce,
can the MX-1 take a screw-in filter? In know it has a bult-in ND filter; I'm thinking of a circular polariser.
Also, can focussing be assigned to the 'AV / AE-L' button?

Not on the AE-L but this may be possible as well.
