going to keep it or sell it?
Oh, there was never any thought of selling it.
The K30/2.8 suits me just fine, I don't often find myself wide open anyhow so lusting after a wider aperture seems a bit unnecessary. And I'm not interested in auto focus so newer lenses don't hold any appeal in that regard. My usual carry (other than this month) is as often as not the K30/2.8 and the K55/1.8, toss in a Voigtlander 21/3.5 or the M50 macro occasionally and I'm not wanting for much else.
That said.... I have the new Voigtlander 35/1.2 arriving imminently and I'm not sure what's going to happen at that stage. The fact that it opens up to f/1.2 is neither here nor there for me however losing the bulk and weight of the adaptor will be very welcome.
I have become very fond of my old Pentax lenses though and I can't ever see not using them sometimes regardless of other options, and of course they will always get used for film on my K1000/KX so they're not going anywhere (not the favourite few at least.)
The other thing that crosses my mind from time to time is to get a Pentax digital camera to use them on. Nothing in the lineup grabs me unfortunately, to be fair I haven't really done any proper reading up on this option, what I would jump at is something like my old mechanical film cameras, with a K-mount and an sd card instead of film - and not much else.
