In the 'Why I'm Staying With Pentax' thread I mentioned all the Sonys that lacked PDAF, like your A7R, and you responded with saying we could buy some crap adapter that worked with old Alpha and Minolta lenses!
once again, clackers, you just contradicted your own quote
b&h lists 78 brand new ff a-mount lenses, why are you claiming that they are "old"

the autofocus versions all have pdaf with the lea4 adapter.
why do we have to keep educating you on the state of modern photography?

IPS revenue in the time of the E-mount cameras has fallen from 756 billion yen in 2012 to 710 billion in 2014, and by their own projections will drop to perhaps 650 billion by 2017.
are you having a reading comprehension problem with the sony pdf
camera revenues for all manufacturers have been falling, but you single out sony like it's the only entity with declining sales
good grief! sounds like platform bigotry to me.

Originally posted by Rondec If you plan on shooting f2.8 zooms, then the A7 series is probably not your best bet. The lens will be the biggest part of the package at that point and pretty unwieldy on such a camera.
hmmm... b&h doesn't list any pentax full frame f/2.8 zoom lenses, it looks like you have to go tamron/sigma, and then there are only three choices??
SLR Lenses, DSLR Lenses | B&H Photo Video
is that list wrong? does pentax actually make any ff f/2.8 lenses?
if not, what will you do if pentax actually releases a ff k-mount body, and you want f/2.8 glass?
sony has four a-mount f/2.8 zooms, that give you pdaf with the laea4 adapter, and there are eleven a-mount f/2.8 zooms total, if you include aftermarket:
SLR Lenses, DSLR Lenses | B&H Photo Video
sounds to me like the a7 series is actually a much better choice for f/2.8 lenses than anything that pentax offers.
