As I read the three pages that erupted since dinner time I could not really get the anger. The op said is dof of a FF k-1 a big factor in why someone would purchase it. Then he goes on to show that it seems like the answer is no.

From there people went every which way without really showing any results to sway opinion. Nor any countering math btw.

Here my two cents:
DOF is thinner by a modest amount for similar framing.
Bokeh is a jury is still out item but likely favors full frame.
Photographer behind the camera makes much more contribution than the sensor.
Edge cases may be make or break to some people.


Many small advantages make for a big plus for many of you to buy k-1.

Many new k-1 owners and k-1 non-owners are talking nonsense without adequate experience or data.

Full disclosure. My only FF exposure is shooting film. I did that for about 25 years, the switched to an apsc dslr. I have no plans at the moment to get the k-1 but only because of money and size.
I love my k-3 but also enjoy my gx7 m43 and my lx7 (q7 sized sensor).

I should also point out I had the k-50 and felt it was all the camera I needed. I only upgraded to a k-3 due to my dad wanting it and needing to have the same equipment for remote support reasons. I haven't regretted the k-3 and I'm certain done shots have benefited from the acquisition, but I submit that the k-50 was quite good and likely I wouldn't have missed the k-3 if I had not ever bought it. Now I can't imagine going back. K-1 owners probably feel the same way.
