Yeah, I guess I meant if Pentax came out with a FF mirrorless that used k-mount or a new mount with an adapter that allowed complete native, seamless use of existing k-mount lenses both screwdrive or SDM. Not like the adapters Sony uses for M42 or k-mount.
I like the concept that Sony has here, but without the ability to use k-mount lenses as if they were on a k-mount camera I would not be interested.
A lot of things to like on this though:
- FF
- IBIS
- tilting screen
- good price point
- hybrid AF system
- 14 bit RAW
- WiFi
- 117 AF points, but I don't see in what pattern
- ISO 50 is implied I think
- flash sync @ 1/250
- stereo mike
- 599gm vs 800gm for k-3
- area specific noise reduction? I assume jpeg only but who knows
On the other hand it's a Sony which means I would not buy it, but that's just me.
