Pentax 15 30, what an unbalanced monster

Thanks for your input, everyone, the images have been a pleasure for my heart

Yeah, really hard to argue with the images, some of them should be possible to buy as prints

. Went again to the shop, but of no avail, this zoom is not for me (also, the star bursts are not, what I would personally like). After some research, I found a true sleeper lens now: Sigma 21-35 y-2. 106 euros on ebay Japan, in basically just-taken-out-of-the factory condition, and nearly as good in sharpness and colors as my FA24. That is going to be my go to choice (and a Laowa 15 macro), until pentax offers a different zoom in the future.
