Enjoy it. Be interested to hear your observations after you've taken it out for a couple of runs.

That is one of the K series lenses I don't have... I'd be interested in your experiences of it.

It is an illusion that photos are made with the camera… they are made with the eye, heart and head. Henri Cartier-Bresson
Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

It's really sharp. My copy had slight haze therefore didn't do so well in direct sunlight. It's sharper than the A 20mm f/2.8 I had.
All the gear with no idea

I have been very busy and not had time to give this lens a proper outing. Today i had a window and grabbed the lens and camera to try and showcase it's capabilities. I don't think these are are anything special at all, but i think they do show the unique perspective an ultra wide can deliver on the K1. The lens does have significant distortion at the edges which can also be quite soft. However I am impressed with the centre sharpness at least close up.
