Hi all,
I'm looking for K 24/3.5, not takumar but bayonet lens with 58mm filter thread. Anybody willing to sell?

Kris, George thanks, your advice really makes me thinking I should give it a go and seek some nice K(A)24.
K30 is insanely expensive, I'm not really sure why, but it is excellent lens as well as K35.....it wasn't really my best decision to sell K30

Kris, George...I too greatly approve of my K lenses....currently I have only K85/1.8 and K20/4 with my FA43 (only af lens I kept), but I tried K30/2.8, K55/1.8, K35/3.5 and some more....
If K24/2.8 or A24/2.8 performs similar to those mentioned, it would be worthy of seeking one.

nice shot Kris,
George yes I know the site, however i was under impresion that most if not all users there commented on lenses used on film...anyway thanks

Hi Pentaxians, I could use some of your advice. I currently own very good vintage Pentax 20mm/4, nice landscape lens and even good for some street photography, but with some small issues. It isn't very fast and I find it bit too wide for streets, too. 24mm lens as an equivalent of film 35mm FF lens seems to me appealing for street photography, so I started to look at K24/2.8 or its A counterpart (I believe they're optically exactly the same lens). I wonder how do they perform, but I suspect that 24mm lens design requires less corrections and compromises than 20mm, thus 24mm might be slightly better performer.
Do you have experience with either of those lenses...i could use some users feedback on those. Thanks....

Hi, wonderfull lens...would you consider exchange for Silver FA 77?

I will also consider swap for Sigma 30/1.4 and some compensation (mutually agreed)....anybody interested?
