Originally posted by wed7 It is amazing to find out that even the DA 35 can really perform well using the K-1.
May I request to please do the same for the DA 21?
Thank you
You can also check for the performance of many DA lenses in this topic:

Since nobody reads that topic, or doesn't want to sift through 30 pages, I'll just leave this tidbit here too:
...Regarding the DA 10-17 at 14mm. It has been previously confirmed that the lens covers full-frame at this focal length, but it has another surprise. Look at these two images shot from a stationary tripod, SR off:
The top image is from the Pentax-F Fisheye 17-28mm at 17mm, it's widest setting. This lens is a 180 diagonal fisheye at 17mm, same as the 10-17 is to an APS-C camera at 10mm.
The bottom image comes from the DA 10-17 at 14mm! It has a dramatically larger field of view than the 17-28.
The difference even holds up when both lenses are focused to infinity. Anyone wanting an ultra-wide for their K-1 would do well to hold onto their 10-17.
