The best is definitely the FA 50/1.7 . The 43 ltd is also a very nice lens but it is terrible wide open.

I consider 1/125 as optimal for my videos too. I don't use continuous auto focus. I personally shoot videos with the DA 21. The Samyang 20 would be nice if you want the extra stops. But it is quite bulky and you would have to go manual focusing. For low light - night videos I use the FA 35.

On aps-c the 50 is nice for portraits and the 35 for street photography. For short distances like family photography you need a wide angle like the 21.

the 50/1.7 is a nice lens. you need a wide angle too, go for the 21 limited.

I am pretty happy with the K-01. Perhaps they make a K-02 aps someday.
What I want is a firmware update for the K-01 but they have stoped supporting it.

why not? it is very nice as a milc too. it is silly when they say that the K-01 is very big to be a milc. in fact it is much smaller than dslrs. only it is not petite like a compact camera but that's for better because petite cameras don't stand well in the hand.

if you find a cheap dedicated film scanner for MF go for it or else don't bother.

Imo the 21 is a better choise than the 15. The 21 is wide enough and is quite good for shooting people to. The 15 is too wide for people, lot of distortion in figures. I have the 21 stuck in my K-01. I use it a lot for videos of people in close distance too. Another lens I use a lot is the 40. I have it stuck in my K-x. It is very good for general photography. Though I own more than 30 pentax lenses I have come up to using these too almost exclusively. Both the 21 and 40 are very very small also and are ideal to carry around in your camera. I don't like at all bulky lenses.

To me K-01 is the perfect camera. I've read many reviews on it, they give it 3.5/5 stars. I give it 5/5 stars. Depends what you are looking of a camera.

Somoene can even use an advanced compact. Some of them produce excellent images with the advantage of wide field of view. I quite often use one, the images are comparable to d-slr images up to iso 800. Then I use the K-01 for video. d-slrs produce awfull noisy sound in videos while the mirorless stands out. I have a DA-21 on the K-01 and never change for another lens, though I carry the FA-35 in my bag I never use it. Then I have the K-x as a third body with a DA-40 attached it makes a perfect allaround. I have about 40 pentax lenses I never use, only keep them in my collection. I would not go for a full-frame at all, don't need it at the moment.

With FF you go down to 3500 lpm while with aps-c down to 2500 lpm only, thats what I mean greater analysis.
With aps-c you have acceptable results until 800 iso, with FF you got less noise, you got acceptable results at 2500 iso, that's 1.5 stops ahead.
The fact that you can save space on a mirrorless system doesn't mean that you have to spend it on a bulky reducer. Instead they could design larger aperture lenses. The most important is that a reducer degrades quality.
