I think I will rather stick to my vintage glass
- not sure how better this one will be though, compared to some lenses that I have but at
$549 - which will most likely be translated to
£499 for the UK market, I will rather pass. Besides just look at the size and weight of this thing XD
I bet there are areas where so fast glass (1 stop faster than f2.8) will be necessary, but for me it would really need to pay off to invest this much money and to carry such a bulk for just 135mm lens.
Front filter thread :77 mm

And finally NO 'A' CONTACTS ? Are they PISSING on us, pentaxians ??
How difficult it is to add a few holes in the mount with some electric contacts and redesign the aperture mechanism to support that, This is ridiculous to design a new lens with no intention of making it fully usable for various metering modes , you know - people were doing it 30 years ago you know , even cheap knock-off Sirius zoom that I have as a paper weight has electric contacts and 'A' setting XD
