I just got back into photography after an 8 year break. Before that I've been a Pentax fan since 1978. I have a bunch of Pentax glass and bodies , both film and digital. When I started back up last year I bought a used Pentax K1 II. I soon realized that it's autofocus system was dated. I then decided to switch to a Sony mirrorless system. I also bought a Monster Adapter to use the Pentax glass on the Sony. I think I can use about 5 of my more expensive Pentax lenses. So far I'm very pleased with the switch to Sony. -
Transition, what transition? I wanted a full frame body for the longest time but all of them were out of my reach new or used, until I found an A7II kit which had less than 100 shutter actuation on consignment at a local camera shop and I jumped on it. With a lens register distance of 18mm for the Sony E mount bodies meant that I can use just about all of the legacy lenses ever produced let me continue to use my accumulated K mount lenses.

Thank you Pieter! That's great input, I remember going to visiting stores before purchasing and you're right, it seemed most mirrorless cameras I had a look at seemed like great options overall. I decided to go with Sony for a few reasons, one of them being a good friend of mine in the product photography field has been using Sony only for ages. Another reason was the way Sony did indeed seem quite welcoming to 3rd party lenses, that is important to me. Appreciate your time and comment!
