I've been using it hand-held, and it can be ponderous.. but it seems to be worth it...
One question from my side.
In the review, there was information that the lens has KA mount. But there's something strange.
In case of other KA lenses I switch the camera to aperture priority mode and I am allowed to set the lens's aperture by the body.
But in case of this Irix lens, this does not work. When I move with the aperture control wheel, I can see that the time value changes instead. But there remains f2.8 in the aperture window.
Is this behaviour the same in your case, or could there be something wrong with my lens?
(I've tried it on my K-7 so far.)
EDIT: So I've attached the lens to KP and everything seems to be as it should.
So now I'm wondering what's different in case of K-7. Obviously there must be some compatibility issue?
