You may want to clean and relive the aperture blades since that is likely the source.

Thanks UncleVanya, it is the sole explanation for this (My luck as it was quite easy to repair).

Very nice find. If I was offered one of these for $120, I would be reaching for my wallet!

Good find, I didn´t even knew that this model existed until today.
Now, I´d like to see how it compares to the highly praised (and super expensive) SMC Pentax "K" 28mm f/2.

I won't be able to fulfill that demand... I have just seen one (k 28/2) on the marketplace for...900$

OK... First test fully open: It is clearly a WOW lens (it will also let me post in 'M Club', 'DLSR Fun with 28...' and 'The Bokeh Club'

One sample slightly cropped with K-3 + M28/2 fully open + 100% crop (light so, so as it is cloudy here).

Exceptional lens, one of my all time favourite bits of Pentax glass (and I paid considerably more than $120...)

LX + Tmax400

MX + Portra400
