the film back and scanned I was able to make a results comparison.\u00a0 Well the Pentax wins hands down from 24 to 38mm but considering the Canon starts at 38mm that isn&#8217;t praise.\u00a0 In almost ever picture under the same conditions the Canon produced a better result, both through exposure and image quality.\u00a0 As I used the same sensor (Kodak 400) it really did come down to the cameras.\u00a0 Here are some of the shots in a side by side.\u00a0 If it&#8217;s wide you want though the Pentax is the one.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"frame-outer  aligncenter size-full
