I have no specific comments about the IQ of those sample pictures. But what I want to say is that the Limited lenses perform great on the A99 and it is what a PITY that Pentax still has no FF body of any and ever! There is not even any news about it recently. That is really too bad! >:-(

After all, it is really really sad to say many of the old Pentaxians who own those excellent Pentax film glass have already left! Do note the above modding to the A-mount for the FA Limited lenses is destructive. So, it is a road of no return! :-o

I am not the owners of the lenses. I own a Canon 5D3 FF of which mounting my FA lenses onto it is usually non-destructive and that the process should be reversible.
These lenses deliever awesome results and I'll stick to them as long as possible. I hate the idea to give them away.
I have no real choice. It's either Pentax going FF or Leica starts a much more reasonable pricing policy.
Not much lenses can compete against the three limiteds. They are truely special.

Cheers
Stefan
