Originally posted by hcc I feel that, if you invest in a Roll-Royce (ie K-5), it is rather silly to use cheap parts (ie lesser quality lenses).
Like many I will be interested to read the posts and discussions of this thread. Thank you in advance to all contributors.
TBH I don't know how well that illustration fits in this particular case.
The main thing that comes to mind(for me) when I look at it this way is where or what a FF would qualify as in contrast to the K-5?
Mainly due to the fact that FF seems to actually enhance glass performance over that of a crop sensor.
Another point in favor of older glass is for specialty purposes. And though I am a believer in the limited models, I just don't know that they would come a substitutes for some of the cult lenses out there for reasons like bokeh, natural vignette and /or colors etc etc.
Though I really would like to see some comparisons between the K-5 and a K20D(for example) as to how each system handles these type of lenses. Which could be vital for those who are thinking of using the K-5 for specific purposes.

F-Stop was about 11 I think.
SR was off (forgot to turn it on, was playing around before I left my house, silly me)
Okay that makes total sense.
I was seeing an ever slight blurring in the image and I was wondering where it came from
. So that makes perfect sense, since 1/160 is about the threshold of where handholding becomes feasible without SR.
Also I think the 50/1.4 looses a bit of IQ past f/8 and onward.
All in all, I'd say pretty darned good though.
