If they only would publish the results on the 645Z to compare.....

I would say try this:

Venus Optics Laowa 15mm f/4 Macro Lens for Pentax K VE1540P B&H

I will wait for the reviews. That is awful cheap for that type of lens.

Yeah. I have looked at that lens in the past.......

The Samyang gets mixed reviews for IQ.

The free option is composition adjustment in camera coupled with additional composition correction in post.

DxO Viewpoint is what I use, but currently DxO doesn't read K-1 DNG files and the new 13-30mm is not yet supported. I will probably order the 15-30mm D-FA next month.

I have thought about the 14mm Samyang. That is an option for what I wan to do, but I think the Pentax 15-30mm F/2.8 is a better lens.

Get me a Pentax APS-C camera with such high ISO performance and I'd be an immediate buyer !

Wow! This K-1 rocks !!

D500 has impressive DR also. I don't know which sensor they use, but Pentax certainly should adopt it.

May have already been listed on this thread, but this manual focus Venus 15mm 'Macro' lens shift Venus for just under $500 currently lives on my wish list:

Many good reviews including the one on this forum, but this one has excellent examples of the lens shift at work:
