Both this and the 40 Da Limited work beautifully on the MZ series cameras. I can confirm that on an MZ5 the lenses work in P and TVPentaxophile wrote:

That's good to know, do you know what aperture was used? It is a very similar formula to the FA-35/2 - 6 elements in 5 groups:Not the best shot in the world, but confirms the full-frame capability of this excellent little lens. Taken in P mode on a P30n, 400ASA Superia.

It sounds like a malfunction. does the ES use only auto setting lenses. It might be worth checking the lens is functioning properly.

A compact 24/2 would be great - equivalent to the famous 35/2 Pentax offerings of the past.

The Ffordes one is - allegedly - the older, non OS one (couldn't possibly be the OS at that price!), which was never made for Pentax: it's actually been a long time complaint from the Pentax crowd that it wasn't available in K mount since it's supposed to be an excellent lens.
The Park Cameras one is the newer OS HSM one, but as far as I'm aware it isn't available yet - I'd be really surprised if it was in stock (I'll ring them tomorrow to check because I know lots of people who would be interested) - heck, I don't think it's even available in the US or Japan!
