the good news is it only costs 8-10 x as much as the k-01!
Pentax is still the better value!

fast? as in large aperture? no go.... too shallow a dof for three or four rows of people. you need f8 to f16
wide? normal to wide lenses depending on how much room you have to move around... the wides distort so you always use the longest focal length you can get away with before you back yourself off a cliff or into a wall or into traffic..lol!
also you need lights. lots of power, preferably flash.... this is where studio strobes really shine...
I'd use my 16-45 f4 with several Elinchroms and a radio slave..... for indoor, low light large group shots.
if outdoors I'd go for my 28-70 f4, same lights if ac power was available...

Pentax would be wise to collaborate with samyang on a lens or two..
here is one argument against the "Fix it in post" mentality.... when you have to shoot both stills and video for a project (ie for an archetect ot real estate agent) then lenses like the tilt shift are valuable time savers... if priced right, i may buy this lens!

it's probably loud, obnoxious and narcissistic, but self deluded and thinks everybody hates it because it's special?

first some da lenses are ff, just not marketed that way.
second... there is nothing to prevent an aps-c lens from working on a ff camera IF the camera simply crops down to the right size image circle as part of the firmware...
lastly ff isn't be all end all... when it comes, Pentax will no doubt stick to it's long held tradition of backward compatibility. Which is kind considering how many other big camera makers deliberately make their old products obsolete when coming out with new products.
