Overcast, snow, and slide film. That's gonna be blue for sure.

Skylight is classic for snow. I wouldn't try 81B, it will make your snow a wierd pink. Very difficult to get it just right with film, so i'd rather do less and have some blue which is expected in snow, than have an overall normal scene but with pink snow.

The thing is, APS-c was a stop-gap solution until FF could be practically possible. The lenses, the flange focal distance, the size of the mirror box and the size of the mount was all designed to accomodate FF. If APS-c was the way to go, we should abolish all these backward parameters. Yet we do not.

If pentax isn't going to come out with FF but still use K-mount, then i would rather jump ship to µ4/3 where everything was designed from the ground up with that size in mind.

If that were the case there is no point it buying that. Could just buy an M-mount + adaptor.

Because if you're gonna make a mirrorless then make it with as small a flange to focal plane distance as possible, then adapt the mounts you want, maybe even with electronic contacts like the alpha to E mount adaptor sony's putting out. K mount mirrorless is a stupid idea, a waste of space and potential of mirrorless, yet people keep putting it out there.

Even the GXR M-mount module is a stupid idea. They could have made an even thinner general purpose mount and then adapt the M, they could have even sold all the adapters for big money on top of that. With an M-mount, i still can't mount other rangefinder lenses like contax G or original contax/kiev/nikon rangefinder lenses.

The sony A mount to E mount adaptor with pellicle mirror and phase detection autofocus is a much better idea.
