Conceptually, I don't mind a really small camera body. I bought an I-10 with the idea that I could carry it round in my shirt pocket for those occasions when I didn't feel like carrying a 'real camera', and to use as a 'safety' on really bad days, frankly though, I've never gotten a 'usable' photo out of it. I won't be a customer unless I am convinced that it can do better than the I-10
I have commented on this before:____A K to Q mount won't be practicale. ____1. Due to the cropping factor conversion ratio, even a 18mm lens would become a short tele. The only usable lens as a standard would have be the 12-24, the 14 and 15!____2. The Q mount is pure electronical. How do you control your apature on your DA lens? If you include apature mechanism in the adaptor itself, then what do you do with those FA lens WITH their own aparture rings? ____3. All PK lens will become pure manaul lens with no auto function what-so ever. ____4. I am guessing the Q has a timed electronic shutter of somesort on the body because the body does not have a mechanical shutter. (that's why the 2 serious lens for Q has lens shutter). Using an electronic shutter (ie, like a DC with your PK mount lens? Won
A K-mount adaptor for the Q system is completely meaningless. It is not solely because of the 5.5X multiplier on the effective focal length, but more so on the much decreased resolution on the optics. With a 5.5X cropped image circle, it means that if an old full frame K-mount lens is used, the linear resolution reproduced is only by 1/5. So, a good FA limited lens will become a piece of crap on it. Will you like that after all?
hell no. thats why i got my pk to eosfullframe adapter. when 50 is 50 ,28 is 28 no more crops.. maximizing the lens potential. thx rice .. your cantax articles solve my f.f thirsts.
