my take on it? Pentax, enough w/the f/4 lenses... If they were at least to be free of CAs wide or near wide open (unlike my 12-24 f/4; I sent one back thinking there was a problem w/it... there wasn't). Fingers crossed for this lens I guess. I'm so happy my Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8 was my 1st purchase. Shame it couldn't have a Pentax name on it (and I don't mean just rebranded).
