I have a few technical questions if you guys don't mind.
First off, I am into all types of photography, except people photography and portraits. BORING. Thats just my opinion,
Nature, Landscape, maco, anything but people.
Presently and for some time now, I have been using a Pentax K5 16.3MP
So here is my dilemma :
I do quite a bit of macro photography.
I use this lens.
PENTAX-D FA Macro 100mm F2.8 WR
But that is not all I use.
I also use the Pentax AF160fc macro ring light system. It is by far the best on the planet for a Pentax system.
There are not even any close comparisons in my opinion. It was very expensive and mine has seen very little use.
I may have 100 flashes on it. It's Superbly nice. I mean really nice.
It has also been discontinued and cannot be purchased any longer. And I am not parting with it.
No way. I will stay with Pentax systems forever, just for that very reason.
My question here is , Will the full frame K1 allow me to use my current Lens and ring flash system for macro photography?
I know there is some crop feature on the k1 but do not know if it would be worth moving to the K1 if I'm going to end up with 16.3 MP which I already get from the k5.
Main goal is better image quality, but the K5 is real good so, what will I see? If anything?
I have wanted a full frame for quite some time now but I am unsure that the results I'm looking for vs money would be worth it.
Below is but one example of what my current system can do.
