Re: PDML members: What is your SHARPEST lens?

My sharpest lens is always the one on my camera for some reason. When I look through the others the images are usually upside down and rather blurry. Plus they never take good pictures like my camera does when I point it in the right direction. In other words, I am not a pixel peeper - I lack both

Re: welcome the pentax q

Part of my reply below was just WRONG. The 35mm equiv. is not printed on the front of the lens. That was the filter size. My basic multiplication tables have failed me once again. Still, the descriptions refer to the 35mm equiv. and Pentax and reviews all note the 35mm equiv. and crop factor (doub

Re: welcome the pentax q

Fotodiox might be working on the adaptor as we speak. 50 mm K mount lenses are dirt cheap and would pack 12 MP into a 275 FOV, if my math is correct. On Thu, Jun 23, 2011 at 4:01 PM, Darren Addy wrote: > Part of my reply below was just WRONG. > The 35mm equiv. is not printed on the front of the

Re: New Pentax Q Compact camera system

I don't know but 4:3 is owned by the 4:3 consortium, Kodak, Olympus and Panasonic. I expect that Kodak isn't part of the micro 4:3 consortium, but maybe they are. I expect that the entry fees are relatively low, sort of like Pentax selling the right to use the original K mount for a dollar.
