Yeah I know ;) It seems Pentax indeed communicates in pixel sizes when the others give points (3 times more). Some comments do also point to a high-res screen so I suppose it is indeed a high res one. Of course some do whine and claim ..."it is not and blabla anyway the K20D isn't even a 1Dmkxvi

Popular Photography changed the SQF system recently and scores from past tests are not comparable with the new system - I don't remember when the 35 f2 was tested, but I think that the scores from it and the 31 LTD are on two different scales. The new system was meant to be more stringent. -
