I cant really see any difference between the performance of the K28/3.5
and the M28/3.5. I know that they are optically different.
Takinami-san rates it at the top of the Pentax 28mm heap in his
comparison of 28mm lenses on Stan Halpin's site, equal to the
K28/3.5, which is high praise
Personally, I've had the A and FA 28/2.8s.
The FA is excellent throughout, the A is a little soft wide open.
Both are at their best around f/4.5-5.6 (two stops down from wide
open), and both have wonderful rendering qualities.

Even if the EVF is just near perfect at this point, but the elimination of

embrace it. Development of finders alternative to optical one seems to be a
tide.

Ken, actually the lag you are talking about IS refresh. It's also not
the lag I'm talking about. I'm talking about the inherent delay between
light hitting the sensor and the EVF displaying the image, which is

The SLR pentaprism was in some ways an improvement over the optical
viewfinder/rangefinder combinations on cameras like the Leica. But they
weren't an unmixed blessing, as is evidenced by the fact that some
cameras still used them abet for a price. Maybe an all electronic
viewing/focusing

You have more faith in the perfectibility of LCD's than I do.

Ken,

This is a very rational opinion and I have to agree with it.
Optical viewfinder is indeed a holy grail of SLR, without which it's not
even an SLR. But that was when Pentax first devised a usable SLR so many
decades ago. A lot of things happened since then, and taking

Ken,
There has been an undercurrent effort to eliminate mirror and prism etc, and
the legacy concept of SLR which every maker has been confined to and dragged
from 35mm SLR era might change dramatically sooner than we think :-).
so bye bye PENTaprism contAX, long live EF tokINA ?
Cheers,
EVF/LCDs will likely never be perfect but then I haven't found an
optical viewfinder that was perfect yet either.
The Panasonic L1 allows live view to the rear LCD. Beautiful for
manual focusing when doing precision work as it can be used at a 10x
magnification level and gives 100% precise
I agree on it needing to be removable.
Inquiring minds want to know why?
