Watching this and for architectural photography I am very tempted; however I have begun to wonder what the lens achieves with respect to correcting converging verticals in digital photography which can't be achieved in post processing with , e.g., Lightroom?
I am no expert in this field, but you lose parts of the image when you pp a picture to correct verticals. Plus there will be a degree of degradation due to the fact that the pixels have all been shifted around.

The other thing to remember when using a manual lens is that the meter will switch from Matrix to Centre Weighted. You still have the option of spot meter, but Matrix cannot be used. There may be some scenes where this will make a difference.

I love using old lenses on my Pentax, and the M 50mm 1.7 is a favourite. Get a hood for it if you have not already, and when you take pictures check the histogram to see that you are not clipping.

Wow, what a set. A very refreshing group of images. I love the theme of reflections, especially 2;4;5; and 8.

The last one grabs me too.

The DA* 16-50 did always get mixed reviews. Mine had the slow wake-up autofocus, but optically was superb.

The OP's images are taken at slow shutter speed so movement of vegetation could be expected. John's suggestion or a brick wall test might prove it one way or another.

I have not been up for photography of late but I could not let International Dog day pass without shooting a portrait of little Ripley.

I know no more than you. But my take is this. Pentax do the DSLR well although there are areas of improvement needed like AF

Given the current state of the camera market and their current funding position within Ricoh I would rather they concentrated on what they were good at rather than chase a dream of becoming the next great wonder in ML. Something Sony Nikon Canon are all failing to do at the moment because demand is not there
