I've only just purchased the lens and have been pleased with its vibrant colour and interesting contrast thus far. It also feels well balanced on my nearly new K-5 camera. I find that the sharpest results can be achieved somewhere around f5.6, which is what the review sites had all told me beforehand. Having 'joined' Pentax from micro four thirds a short time ago, the biggest problem I've faced has been adjusting to the reduced amount of depth of field available with a larger sensor. It becomes more crucial to choose my aperture and focal point carefully. I also feel that the default 25 sharpening setting in Lightroom and Camera Raw is rarely enough if reasonable detail in the distance is to be achieved. Anyway, thank you to all previous contributors to this thread for sharing your photos and experiences, which have been invaluable.
The following image features the Millennium Bridge in London, which is situated between St Paul's Cathedral (visible in the distance) and the Tate Modern gallery (to the rear). I always feel sick when I cross it because I'm terrified of heights.
