Just caught sight of this

Looks well sorted, on paper.

Looking forward to seeing a hands-on review.

Comments welcome Fiona.

Number one is softened prior to sharpening.

Number two. I grabbed the shot only because of the woman.

Number three. The effect of the grad ND allows the colour of the water to show. Normally we would loose colour and detail due to the amount of light in the sky.

It does look as if it isn't level yet the in camera level said it was?

Waaaayy to austentatious for my taste but what an excellent example of a modern hot rod.

The finish is brilliant and I love the detail in the wing mirrors.

I think the wide angle works well on the front and side views but not so well on the back. The distortion of the white truck and the people dont work for me.

Great car though.

Totally agree but the 16-50mm wouldn't work due to too many people being too close. I had little choice but to use the Fisheye. That is one shot that one of my other body/lens combinations would have nailed without distortion or moving further back

It's manual focus though, isn't it? Wouldn't that restrict it's usefulness as a "normal" prime?

Of course I realise that all lenses used to be manual focus and people could still take pictures etc etc

However, I'd have though that if people were after a Pentax, manual focus, normal prime they would have lots of second hand options which will likely be cheaper?

(10 mins later)

Ok, I've had a quick look and maybe the older lenses aren't as fast. Still, there's likely to be a big price differential.
I see it as an ideal indoor lens at weddings etc. AF is generally too slow in those situations on AF lenses, so it may have a place?

As for price, it will be cheaper than this
