(in Simplified Chinese, Google English translated page here - but there will be no picture nor video as the Weixin server has disabled hot-linking from other websites)

The video clips for the AF tests with the FA31 are dead links anyway.

2. The below YouTube video tested the Monster Adaptor with the DFA*85/1.4 lens, it seems that the new SDM motor as well as the KAF4 electromagnetic aperture are both well supported by this version of the adaptor:

The AF speed and response of the combo looks good.

DPReview Awards 2020 do not even mention Pentax. Nowhere. Echh....!

In 2018, DPReview TV rated the K-1 II the second worst camera of the year. Nothing for 2019 and 2020, because Pentax didn't release anything. But for 2021, Pentax has excellent chances to participate with their K-3 III as one of the "worst cameras of the year" again, so it will be a worthy successor in holding up that award tradition.
The reason the K-1 II received that was not because it was necessary. the worst camera, it was that it was worse than the K-1 original, and there were clearly mistakes made. I don't know what to think of the K-3-III but I worry that it will be worse than the K-3-II
I have been a Pentax user since 1984. But I regularly think more and more that it is indeed going to be a difficult story now .... Very unfortunate. Fortunately, such a "Sony converter" is a positive development.
