I'm sure it will be a fine lens optically...BUT continuing the trend of no manual aperture control is not to my liking
Complete manual aperture control disappeared over 15 years ago on Pentax bodies. Backward compatibility is important to Pentax as far as the body is concerned (new functionality with the K3 III for example), so that old lenses can be used on modern bodies.

But do you really expect them to create a lens today that can be used on an old body ?

Lovely set. Like shot of the MV - a 675 World Supersport bike? Who's is the signature?

I wish I knew Phil. I do not know enough about bikes to even begin.

There are a few motorbike posters on this forum...hopefully they will know.

I remember the first time I got my hands on a "K" 50mm 1.2....I thought I was going to fall into it !

Oh the style of that Maserati Indy

Another great little set Peter
Thank you John. Yes that Maserati is quite special.

I grew up when these cars were being produced. They had such style. The modern Ferrari's and Lamborghini's are technical marvels but they don't have the "soul" that these old'uns possess. The Fiat Dino is another classic I had never seen before.

Cracking pictures at any rate. I had no idea the U2 was still in service? It is 1950's technology !

Amazing responses on DP review about the lens, especially from KP/K3ii users complaining it's not wide enough for them....
I guess they failed to see the designation "D FA"

but still tempting seeing how much lighter it is than the 15-30mm.
Agreed....416g versus 1040g

I think the advice will vary with the camera model. As SR has improved and takes its analysis from more axes, the later models may suggest to leave SR enabled as the camera will recognise what you are doing. Earlier models I think turn it off.

To be honest I reckon your best approach is to practice first and see which gives you the best method.
