I don't see which lens is used in which camera for this test @_@ where do they hide this info ?

While I have no doubt you think you see something... your time is better spent taking pictures. Using one camera or the other, you just aren't going to see a difference.

The Nikon seems a tad sharper with a little more contrast than the K3 to me. Nothing that can't be easily changed in PP

Hover over the little "i" icon on the right side just below the sample images.

Nikon comparison is just a "pinch" better that's all.

Thanks I was looking for that too. All I know is due to the comparison with the FF particularly with Sony, lenses used must've been different.
