Ffordes look to have just ruined their website. It was easy to browse before with options for A lenses, AF lenses etc. Now its an endless mixed list in no particular order with little option to show different types. Ugh.
One of their previous critreria was to show just, say, PK/PKA lenses.
Do a search for PKA now and it just says sorry! What's the use in that?

What you need are lenses, more lenses, bigger lenses, better lenses, faster lenses, vintage lenses and when you have these, your pictures will be perfect!

I am slowly changing over all my zoom lenses to just Pentax brand and this is the only one I have left on my list but I rarely use wide and I too have the Sigma 12-24mm as well as one of the old Tamron 17-35mm f/2.8-4 lenses.
Think it would have to be a fair bit cheaper for me to swap.

Argh!
Why do something so dumb to their web site, it's now all but unusable, whereas it used to be really easy to browse through, what a mess.

I take it you've not found the filters yet then? (RHS - Filter Products)
FWIW I didn't like it at first, but now that I've wandered around a bit I think it was just familiarity with the old site.
My biggest issue with Ffordes used gear is the prices...
YMMV of course.

Somewhere safe in deepest Lancashire.
This lens has been for sale for several days now but today the asking price was reduced by £100.00 making it a fair purchase at £949.00 considering the price of new. So if any one is contemplating the purchase of a full frame wide angle lens for their K1 varient, this doesn't look like a bad punt:- https://www.ffordes.com/p/SOR-18-008937/lenses-pentax-af/15-30mm-f28-wr-d-fa-hd-...
