FYI, I found this website (for a sold one) which states it's only for the early Pentax AF film SLRS and not for any other models. I don't know if that's due to TTL functionality or a high trigger voltage.

Now we have it, a bloody mug for pity’s sake.

I recently bought the 50mm f2.8 macro and as an experiment used it as the sole lens on a coast path walk, and was surprised by how much I enjoyed it. Very lightweight, strangely liberating not zooming in or out, just framing a nice shot by moving around a bit (I say a bit, the cliff edge was a limiting factor!) and the added bonus of close-ups. I now use it paired with a 35mm f2 lens and a 100mm macro for walkabouts if I don’t want to carry weighty gear and as all three share the same 49mm filter thread I just have one polariser and a screw-on 10 stop filter.

The best option for your K-3 II would be the DA 35mm limited. Failing that, the DAL 35mm f/2.4 is a lot cheaper but loses the build quality and frills while maintaining decent optics (though not up to the standard of the limited).

Just a point about colour cast and I've never heard it before. I bought a B+W ND 3.0 from a mate who uses Canon and he reported no colour cast. I used it on my Pentax and it produced a cast. Another friend tried it on his Nikon and it produced a cast, but of a different hue. Not conclusive but made me wonder if it was down to how the camera renders colour?
