Makes you wonder how a 16MP K-5 (III) with K-3 processing might perform

Lots of views!
Took it out for a walk around a lough near my work place and took a few shots of the local wildlife.

May bode well for flare resistance, could be that Pentax are pretty confident

A*'s + A50 f/1.2 upwards and onwards. Anything beneath them or older vintage are basically lacking in optical ability. I would also argue that the F series should be discounted as they are just too lacking in tactility due to their build but that is me being a lens snob

The simple solution to all this would be for Pentax to release a 50 f/1.4 DA Limited. This would be DC, WR and HD and effectively render all the previous 50s to obsolete, vintage and in some cases only, collectable! It is the solution because it would set the standard that Pentax believes is possible with their best coatings and modern design improvements. It would also allow those who favour their Takumar's, K's, M's, A's, F's and FA's to compare, contrast and then list their 50's on Ebay before the great Pentax 50 price depreciation takes hold

Simple fact is that the newer designs are by in large better. I can see the FA Limiteds and DFA50 getting a refresh next year with newer coatings and the DFA getting a new body along the lines of its longer sibling. Once that is done, the FA line is consigned to the obsolete bin as well.

As much as we look back to the good old days or lens series in this instance with rose tinted glasses, progress and technology rarely stop. There will always be the exceptions of course
