Nice! I am also considering the Tamron 24mm since I rarely carry 16-35mm. Your pictures further convince me.

The classic K10D, old but doesn't disappoint, the colors are fantastic! I usually shoot with 28/55mm on FF but decided to carry K10D+50-135 this time.
Hopefully, you'll like it.

Pentax has been a fantastic journey and I still enjoy Pentax for film or occasionally shooting with old k10d.
However, Pentax no longer fits the bill for everyday photography, particularly the bulky cameras, and the OVF are real dealbreakers for me. So not coming back till Pentax embraces mirrorless.

I was checking which pics to post and then came across a random comparison I shot a couple of months back - nothing scientific.

a7ii, though it's 24MP. While K-1 will be a solid camera and likely to be the best FF DSLR, I unlikely to go back from Sony. Not only the size, a7ii evf with zoom/peaking is much quicker and accurate with MF lenses that can not be achieved with OVF. I shoot film (ME Super) and digital (Sony) so this feedback is from my day to day experience using both.

My experience with 85mm,
1) Samyang/Rockinon 85mm/1.4 - Good for the price but not good in absolute terms. Not as sharp as claimed by a few, may be just because they have not used any other sharper lens. I had couple of discussions in past and based on that I tried second copy which also turned out to be the identical to first copy. Having said that, overall it's a fantastic lens for price if you are ok to sacrifice sharpness and a bit of muted colors.
2) M85/2 - Real gem, a very nice and small lens and better than Samyang etc. However, on downside, it's just f2, no 'A' settings and prone to CA (Samyang is excellent here).
3) Jupiter 9 - it's like Russian roulette, if you get a right copy, it's just awesome, special rendering & beautiful colors, it's just different. Again, it's limited by f2. I have sold my all other 85mm after acquiring FA77 but not this, I am keeping this beauty.
4) FA77 - I know you've asked for 85mm, but this one is close and I really think that it's worth than spending money on any of these MF 85mm lenses.

What do you think of lenspen products. They have separate products for even lens cleaning and filter cleaning.
I always use blower and not very comfortable using brush on my lenses.
Any opinions please.

I would prefer A5000 based on my experience, will be more flexible. Btw, you might want to consider A5100 though as personally I was let down by A5000 LCD.
I have nex 5n+Sigma 19mm and I briefly owned GR and now Sigma dp1m. In my experience, GR lens is sharper than Sigma 19mm but difference is not as significant as difference between 19-DP1m or GR-DP1m. Hence I kept 5n+19mm for casual use, dp1m for daytime use and let go GR.

Just took a few random pictures with wide angle lenses I am having - Shot at f2.8, f4 and f8 using five different lenses and two different subjects. Some interesting and some not so known lenses, so can you please give it a try & post your lens preferences from 1-5, 1 being the best lens you like and 5 the least. I will disclose lenses later.
Just give you subjective opinions, all lenses are respectively sharp as I have observed from my other shoots. Any variation would be my focusing error as all were focused manually hand held. It's an overcast day and a bit windy so a few minor variations in light.

I haven't tried it on K1 but tried 28-75 on A7/A7r and it performed well so should perform good on K1 too.

You unlikely to see much difference that you might expect based on the reputation. FA35 is already a great lens.
