the KP and 20-40 is hard to beat.

Speaking of, from the Denali park road back in June, headed back from Kantishna Alaska. 14 frame panorama stitched in lightroom.

Will have a city trip. Take the KP with me and what flexible lens? I usually choose the DA18-135. But maybe the DFA28-105WR will deliver better IQ for a little bit less flexible FL. Today I did some test shots ... three of them ...

DFA28-105WR @ 105mm, f/5.6, 1/1250s at ISO400, pp crop. Don't know - maybe the DA18-135 could have delivered similar with an advantage in FL of 135mm.

DFA28-105WR @ 105mm, f/5.6 and 1/100s at ISO100. I got mushy borders and corners in similar captures with the DA18-135 if I remember correctly.

DFA28-105WR @ 28 mm, f/11, 1/160s at ISO200. Overall good sharpness compared to DA18-135.

My decision is to take the DFA28-105 instead of DA18-135. It will be accompanied by DA15 and DA*11-18 below it's range and above by DA55-300PLM. I think the gap of 10mm between 18 and 28 mm I'll cover easily by cropping if necessary.

Some stitched images taken just after rain using my KP and Sigma 10-20. Just lucky to be there at the right time, cycling home from work. These are from along the Thames River, London, Ontario.

Taken around Blackfriars Bridge.

Farther down the river.

I started my Pentax journey with a K10D, then upgraded to a K-7. They were okay but I just didn't think they were anything special. I stayed with Pentax because of the DA* 50-135 when I bought a KP.
Best decision in cameras I've ever made. It is a remarkable camera.

KP with Mamiya/Sekor 58/1.7

with Macro-Takumar 50/4

Rikenon 55/1.4

DA 55-300

DA* 50-135
