I was thinking more about approaching the same scene/subject, and then creatively framing/composing with one camera and then the other. Changed sensor size may force you to "zoom with your feet, etc". This is something that I cannot predict without Sol 45 on my K-70.
BTW, I feel more and more convinced to buy this Sol 45.
I spend long time debating on this because usually I'm a fan of wide angle shots. 45 mm on APS-C is definitely far from wide angle
But if it is giving nice results, I'll try it.
Ok, here's some results. Please forgive the positioning and lack of properly distancing myself back with the KP to take on an exact same distance/FoV to the original K-1 shot. It was 40 degrees today, roasting hot and I looked for a place in shade on my street that I could cower under for the shots. It didn't leave much room to back up before I started sliding down a banking
I processed the images every so slightly as I feel it helps show the Sol45 effect more than sometimes a blandish SOOC.
Without further ado;
K-1, without blades.
KP, without blades, moved back on a different tripod to recreate similar FoV to the original K-1.

And just for reference sake, what the KP looked like FoV when replacing the K-1 in it's original tripod;
KP, without blades, same spot/tripod where K-1 took it's shots.

Apologies for the uninspiring subject matter.
My conclusion is the effect is still there, quite pronounced, I don't think you have much to worry on crop sensor.
