Thank you for the link to the fourth and last part of Kimio Tanaka's hands-on review of a prototype lens.

Want bug. Want bug. Eat nice squashy bug. Mhhhmyum. Pentax. Like moving little legs in mouth. Want more. Good lens.

But nine will give diffraction stars with 18 points while 12 will only have 12 points. So 9 is actually more than 12...

Can you please post a link to the large photo?
I cannot find it.

Kunzite · 01-12-2018, 05:04 AM

The author didn't posted larger resolution images. He wasn't allowed to, as this is a "beta" lens.

You really should have put black tape over the "1" on the K-1. That could have been a lot of fun.

Gah, getting back into this thread after I had unsubscribed; so are those considered straight aperture blades, or curved?

EDIT: Have we figured out what the black tape on the prototype lens pictures earlier was hiding?

I think the general consensus settled on a water buffalo

I don't either damn it. Wait, I don't have a WR 50. Shouldn't everyone have a WR 50?

I guess the reason Pentax is so slow releasing lenses is to allow us to keep up.
