Reviews suggest it is not as good as the 24mm version, but it still looks like a good lens though.

I bought mine for £30, from Wildings before they went bust. I doubt you'll get much change from £90 nowadays buying online, looking at recent ebay sales. Make an offer of £45. It will work great on your Kr. It's a brilliant lens, I wouldn't sell mine.

Great for IR too. This was IR on an ist DL

I've seen quite a few Pentax cameras in Japan, mainly in Osaka. The KR, especially the coloured versions, seems quite popular there. Yet to see a Q in the wild though.

Thanks very much for the reply and feedback, John. Much appreciated.

I enjoyed judging the competition, and there were a lot of good entries for what was a challenging theme. I guess I was expecting the winner to be announced on the home page, since the competition was (and still is) advertised there in the first place.

Regards,
Jon

I am a bit surprised and more than a bit disappointed that after all the hype leading up to the 300th weekly comp there has so far been no acknowledgement whatsoever of the result by the mods here. I see John Riley has commented on the subsequent weekly comp, and on the on-going monthly competition, but the landmark 300th has received no acknowledgement at all. I would have though congratulations were in order for the winner, and the podium places, or am I missing something?

Can it be that my judging, or perhaps even my choice of winner, doesn't meet approval from the powers that be? I put a lot of work into judging that competition, as I have for every competition I have judged on here, which as everyone knows is not always the case with the weekly comps.

I'd appreciate it if one of the mods would explain the total silence since I posted my results? Competition #302 is currently running and Weekly competition #300 is still being advertised under "latest news" on the home page!

If the price was right, I'd be very interested in medium format scanning.

Damn, was just about to send you a pm when I saw it had been sold......

Thanks Mike!

Any sample pics shot with your lens?

I had a look at the MX-1 but ended up with a Fuji X20, and after seeing more reviews on the MX-1 I'm more than happy with my choice. Having a viewfinder is just one of the reasons, image quality is the most important one.
