Best Pentax DSLR body with Bigma ?

Thanks for yr opinions. But I'm mainly interested whith the relation between sensor definition according to lens definition .
For exemple, few month ago I used Tamron SP 300mm f/5.6 monted on K10 for pretty good results , same lens, on K20, produced very poor resolution and IQ.
This problem caused by sensor/lens definition, photosites size and diffraction characteristics, occurs quitte often when sensor definition is highter than lens one and become critical with 5 µm photosites sensor.

Hi all !
I just ordered a new Bigma in complement / replacement of my actual 50-135 DA*, Sig. 135-400 (to be sold...) and Sig. 500 f/4.5 .
What is the best Body/Lens couple to use as well for better IQ , sensibility and S/N ratio :
- K10D 10 Mp Cds + Bigma or K20D 14,6 Mp Cmos + Bigma ?
For exemple , I get much better results with 50-135 DA* mounted on K20D than K10D .
K10D seems a little bit better whith Sig. 135-400 and no significative diference between K10D and K20D coupled with Sig. 500 f/4.5 .
Thanks for advices / experiences

Y are certainly speaking of Alpine cars from Jean Rédélé ...
Welcome to the "Alpine lovers Club" !!!
I still own a Berlinette 1600S 1972 (short gearbox) in quite good original condition .
Unfortunatly Alpine was completly integrated to Renault from 20 years, and they are producing special series of "normal" consumers cars.

An other shoot taken during last full moon with Sigma 135-400 +TC Tamron 1.4 x :


Other one a few month ago, same lens, but a composit of about 30 shoots .
Restitution with IRIS V.5.51 :


Robert Capa says : " If your pictures are not good, you are not close enough ..."
... With a good software as IRIS , distance ( 384 400 km Earth/Moon ) is not a real problem , everything become close enough !
