I’m not saying that it is significant difference. I’m just looking pictures side to side, which has been taken with different lenses and this is where I do notice that some older ones are not sufficient anymore when I did not have this problem with K-3. That said, I did not have DFA15-30 or *70-200 back then. Even DFA 28-105 when stopped down does give to me nice results.
Some older lenses I’ll stop using all together.
That’s all.

When I got my K-30, one day I used the Pentax-A 50mm f/1.7 “kit lens” which I had used to take Kodachrome 25 pictures with my “Super Program” ‘back in the day’. Without even pixel peeking, I could see that the results were sharper than I had ever gotten with film. I didn’t continue to use it, because I had switched to auto focus for a good reason, but I did note the results.
I know that I’m not going to play that game. Not until I really have no choice
