GXR sensor is the same size as the sensor in your Pentax DSLRs, also no AA. FourThirds sensor is slightly smaller (13x17.3 vs 16x24 mm). And I’m terribly sorry, Paul, but Leica Summicron-R, Summilux-R, and Elmarit-R lenses make even the best modern Pentax lenses seem like … Oh, let’s not start that nonsense. ]’-) BTW, I’ll use the same lenses with a Leica M (type 240) when I upgrade from my present M9 body … 24x36 format, 24 Mpixel. Live View with peaking too.
