OK, here are some from 2018/19 in Devon, Cornwall and Derbyshire.

I like the lens, it has become part of a trio with the FA43 and the DFA 100macro on the K-1.

Thanks for the samples, some lovely photos. As I plan to, it looks like a lovely companion to the FA43.

I do use a FA*24 on my K-1 from time to time. Not that often because the lens is quite bulky (I tend to use a 28 or 35 if I want to travel light, or a Sigma 24-70 when weight is not a concern), but I am very pleased by the results. I actually found this lens unimpressive on my K-5, but much better on the K-1.

Of course this is a specialty lens, 24mm is too short for many uses, but I guess you already know that.

I'm afraid I don't have many samples on line but here is one: pentax k1-5265.small | gallery.glou.org

Thats a superb shot, love it! Its quite often that I find the 28mm on the D-FA28-105 is not quite wide enough and I'm not the biggest fan of UWA. I had a DA14 on the K-01 and found the perspective distortion a bit too much that wide. Same with the DA10-17 personally.
