I tried fitting my new DX 50/1.7 on my Pentax digital cameras today, and I was disappointed to find that when it is mounted on the K-01 mirrorless, the focus ring doesn't turn all the way to infinity (or the lens doesn't screw in all the way if it's already set at infinity). It seems that the sensor chamber is too low at the top, and the surround of the rear lens element bumps into it as the lens approaches infinity focus.
The good news is that the lens works fine on my K5IIs DSLR. The mirror clears the rear of the lens with no problem, so that's the camera I'm going to use to compare lenses with the 45/1.7 of the Electro 35 G series.
