great lenses Alvaro: I myself owned 18/3.5, 50/1.2 and still own 20/4 and 85/1.8.
18/3.5 and 20/4 are pretty rare....and I can really wholeheartly recommend 20, 50 and 85.

Better forget about Tamron SP 17mm - just a mediocre lens. K18/3.5 is better, but still cannot match K20/4 (or I had a bad sample). I believe Tokina 17mm review is on PHOTOZONE.DE under Pentax section.johnwhit wrote:
Sigma also produced a 18mm f/3.5 some years ago, less popular than the Tokina and Tamron 17mm lenses. I've no idea of the IQ but if it's anywhere near as good as the 24mm/2.8 Superwide or 16mm/2.8 Fisheye it would be well worth a look.

I'll chase those lenses up.Sigma also produced a 18mm f/3.5 some years ago, less popular than the Tokina and Tamron 17mm lenses. I've no idea of the IQ but if it's anywhere near as good as the 24mm/2.8 Superwide or 16mm/2.8 Fisheye it would be well worth a look.

The only other lens I could think of was the K 18/3.5 but very hard to find on the used market, no auto metering either. More compact than the K/A 15mm

I will rule out K18/3.5, it is not that great in the corners.....K20/4 seems to be much better lens IMHO. And to top it K20/4 is also cheaper a bit, but seems to be more rare. I was happy to get my for approxv155£. Both K18/3.5 and K20/4 are nicely corrected for distortion. Nice thing about K18 and K20 is that they share same filter size with FA31. I have 31ltd with K20 and they make a nice pair.The only other lens I could think of was the K 18/3.5 but very hard to find on the used market, no auto metering either. More compact than the K/A 15mm
