Again - it's not
our way. We are the messengers. The facts can't be biased, and they can
be verified, which you yourself can do if you wish. In other words, please don't just take our word for it, do your own research, like the dpreview authors who made the chart in the OP did.

Quote: There is nothing true in selecting a very limited - and in many cases irrelevant - set of parameters in order to claim that images are "equivalent".
What specifically is not true about it? Is there something you don't agree with mathematically, or something that your experience specifically contradicts? If you're going to answer this, please be specific so we don't just trade loaded generalities.
Remember, 'equivalence' doesn't claim to make images the
same, and it doesn't claim that what you always
want to do is get equivalent images - it simply describes the differences between formats and
uses the concept of equivalent images to do so. Quote: There is nothing true in claiming that a lens gives you noise.
It is precisely true that noise is a result of total light and sensor efficiency, and total light is determined in part by the lens, and it's entrance pupil diameter. Thus, you can select a lens that can give you less image noise than another lens. Are you denying this?
Quote: And there is nothing true in mocking people who don't share your beliefs.
Not mocking, and it's not
my beliefs, it's
physical reality.
Quote: P.S. I will get a Pentax FF when it will be available (maybe next year, who knows?), and - as much as possible - I will shoot it at ISO 100; I will gladly explore every aspect that's different, just to see the equivalentionists cringe.
To disprove equivalence (if that's what you're implying you will do
) you will need to break the laws of physics, or doctor your results.
If you want to show
differences in equivalent images - heck, I can show you that. Bokeh, rendering, 'drawing', aberrations, sharpness are all lens-specific. Equivalence makes no claims otherwise, and doesn't include hose things. If you say it does you're setting up a straw-man.
