Fantastic cameras each in their own right.
I am a little bit jealous.
I use a K-70 & a K-r as a 2nd.
I love the quality of your shots also.

Yes, I know I am and at the risk of sounding even more spoilt, I'm eyeing the Pentax smc DA 15mm f/4 ED AL Limited for the KP. Do any of you have experience with this lens?

I never tried DA15 ltd, I prefer my sigma 8-16 for ultra wide angle pics. Ltd will look much better on KP though

Thank you all again for the welcoming words. What a lovely, friendly community!

As for the 15mm, I just had to have it. As expected, beautifully made and tiny.

Early December I have to be in Vegas for a conference and I've decided to skive off for a day to see the Grand Canyon. It's been on my list of places to see for a lifetime. I will need to travel light and I think this little gem will be just right

Hardly scientific but as some people, as I, will have read reviews on this lens and might be put off because of the reports of edge softness at larger apertures, here are a couple of shots, at f 4.0 and f 9.0. Indeed the softness is there but the results are perfectly acceptable; at least for me and I can see that the tiny size, almost pancake, will be very useful. There is some chromatic aberration but easily corrected in LR.

Please bear in mind that these are at ISO 6400
