Link removed as this looks like a phishing attempt outside of ebay (as is usually the case with these "too good to be true" offers. There is no buy it now button and the link instead takes you to an insecure web form hosted on a suspicious domain. I have reported the listing as fraudulent.

Made a quick stop in a train museum today and tried out the little plastic fantastic on the K1.

Just trying out my new K-3ii over the weekend. This was the site of the Pinkerton tunnel on the CSXT line in Pa. The tunnel was removed to accommodate double stack cars. I'm sure i'll go back and wait for the train next time.

I own a HD 21mm F3.2 AL Limited & HD 35mm F2.8 Macro Limited. Both fantastic lenses, and I love them, well loved them. Since moving to FF they've seen very little use. I find I use my K3 to support my K1 with DA* zooms, rather than the primes. I use mainly primes on my K1 - I only say that, coz I'm actually rather partial to primes when aiming for the best quality I can manage. Now I'm thinking walkabout with the K3 ...
I don't really have a walkabout option for the K1 and I was wondering whether to sell my 21 & 35 and buy, with the proceeds, a HD 20-40mm, reasoning it's similar weight to the 35, but WR and more flexible. Yes I know it will not have the 35's edge to edge sharpness, but it will probably compare well with the 21 and not really be that far off the 35 for a walkabout lens. Swapping for the 20-40 hopefully will mean my old K3 will see more action as it will be a lighter package than my 16-50 which I find I can't use as a walkabout combination. (I have 15mm limited, which I'll never sell, to complement whatever choice I make)
The 20-40 does seem to have rather a mixed bag of views, and I need (;)) advice ... I suppose this is really another (groan) quality V convenience/ prime V zoom question, but because it's specific I hope it's got some value as I can't decide.
Thoughts, anyone please ? Many thanks.
