This is a superb lens but FS prices were hit when the 35/2.4 DA version was introduced - there was a lot of talk that they were pretty much the same lens, but in my experience this version is far better in so many ways - Construction (metal mount, solid build), fast maximum aperture, superb image quality (even excellent wide open) and for astrophotography it suffers far less from Coma than many other 35's. If I didn't have one permanently in my collection I would be very tempted. I suspect interest (and prices) will rise once the FF is released, but the market for many used Pentax lenses is still pretty low!

For goodness sake, man, hang onto it. When the so-called full-frame camera comes out, lenses like this are bound to go up in value.Easter weekend... this lens is better value than your chocolate
