Hi Bjorn, I had this lens for while to play and it is really very very good UWA lens. But I didn't keep it, because I use polarizer and ND filters most of the time with natural shots and due to front element of samyang and fixed hood there's no way to put the filter on. Other problems is that it has huge distortion, so it is really great for landscapes but not really suitable for anything else. Build quality is top notch, manual focusing throw very long for UWA, you can get very precise focus if needed. So my conclusion If you don't need filters and shoot landscapes...that is probably one of the best lenses you can get.

i read a review of this lens once....not a great lens, but quit solid. Reviewer was a pentaxian and concluded that there was no visible advantage to a kit lens 18-55.

Hi Pentaxophile,
not an easy decision...i know. I'm selling my DA70 only because I have K85/1.8 .... and they're too close to each other in many characteristics, despite the look - DA70 is really strange telephoto . Let me know if you decide....

Hi all,
I would like to trade my mint DA70/2.4 Limited with original hood and original caps and lens pouch for Sigma EX 30/1.4 in excellent shape.
My DA 70 is in pristine condition, but my new acquisition - K85/1.8 is too close to that focal lenght.
Please let me know, if anybody is interested.
Cheers

Btw. I live in EU, Slovakia.....so please consider this...

Still up for sale? That's strange nobody picked that yet. This is an excellent lens and and on top of limiteds it has SDM focusing, which is slow, but very precise and works nicely with tracking. Be patient, Tony...
