…..and why this camera makes no sense at all.
“DA 40mm F2.8 Limited is equivalent to 220mm”
Still can’t see the point in this system or in this adapter.
Seems pointless to me as well, makes very little sense.
Wow!! That’s what is called ugly!!
Okay my first thought was, “wow absolutely ridiculous”. Thinking about it a bit more though, this may be good for nature photographers. The type that like have huge focal lengths, 1K+. Of course this isn’t a walk around lens its something you set on a tripod. Again though, very niche.
Now you can say your lenses can take photos. The camera is almost invisible.
imagine that if they adapt a 400mm f/2.8 on this little brick, the equivalent focal length should be 2200mm. We may take photos for a flight.
Pentax K with Q mount adapter … ridiculous …
It might have been interesting if this little camera provided auto-focus on K-mount lenses.
But regardless, it is unlikely that any K lens can provide the sharpness required to make the insane telephoto effect useful. And the future Nikon mount might have the same problem where legacy glass just cannot render sharp images on the little sensor. Time will tell I suppose.
Dumbest camera idea in recent history. Really, they’d be better off designing a macro lens and ground glass to capture the lens’ image circle, but then the overall length is so significant that you might as well just buy a proper camera. 2x crop is useful, 1.6x crop is useful. 5x crop is just freaking ridiculous.
