Is "cheap photography" a genre?

The conclusion was that regardless of what genre of photography you do, the lens is going to satisfy you. If you are a K-3 III user, you are going to want this lens. Basically, no downsides were mentioned, unless you consider it oversized.
I can confirm these findings 100% from the albeit relatively limited experience so far with my own copy.

Some wonderful photos in that article. This seems like a knock-out lens.

Thanks for the link.

Wow, excellent photos!
What should I get first? This lens or the K3iii?

I think the answer is "it depends" but if you have a camera body already that is 100% compatible with this lens then the lens is easily where I would go first with my money.

*This is not a complaint about anything, just stating my position*: If I could use this new lens with my K-5 II I would definitely spend the money on the lens and use it on that camera. As I cannot my plan is to get the K-3 III and a Sigma 17-50 at some point as a much lower cost alternative lens. Eventually the new 16-50 is what I would want to pair with that camera body.

I can't wait to actually see photos, many photos, from those who have ordered it... and to be jealous!

That's some nice "review" photos. Imagine if all reviewers took photos this nice...

I clicked the links at the bottom for the DA1118 and some other Pentax lenses all those galleries were very good as well. Interestingly they are all by different people and they are all good and somehow similar in style.

I think the ETA on the CRK site is the 3rd of August, so I have to wait at least another week.
