I just thought I'd share this with the members of PU. The information was compiled by Paul Franklin Stregevsky, former member of the PDML in pdf format:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/ocautu4b81i6njt/Ultrawide%20rectilinear%20lenses%20for%20Pentax%2C%20.pdf

May be of some use to those looking for an ultrawide lens.

Best to download the files, checked virus free. Glad some of you found it interesting, it's good to see Paul's work put to good use.

Thanks for the link! I've been after an smc A f3.5 18mm for a while, just looking for one at the right price. Was just outbid on one a few days ago. The smc A f3.5 15mm looks good too, but fetches ridiculous money. There's one full of fungus on ebay for 600 quid at the moment.

I know a man who could probably sort that, but £600 it's a bit of a gamble

P.S. errrmm, they didn't do an A 18mm f/3.5 did they?

Lol, no, sorry, it's a K lens, smc f3.5 18mm. Finger trouble or maybe wishful thinking....
