Larry (I believe) most recently was asking questions about "diffraction limited". The latest issue of On Landscape has an article that might prove enlightening. It is making the case that diffraction is only part of the story. The two cameras in question are both full frame (since sensor size is also part of the equation). How the coming Pentax full frame does in this regard is one of the big unknowns that I'm looking forward to learning more about.
