I don't have it in K-mount, but own the Samyang-branded version in Sony A-mount. It's a fantastic lens... Really, quite excellent optically :)

My favourite AF K-mount lens, even including my lovely Pentax glass, is the humble Tamron 28-75 f/2.8. It's my "go to" lens... It's by no means a stunning lens in any way, but I really like the rendering and - although not wide enough for many when used on APS-C format - I find the focal length range perfect.
In manual focus, I have a few that I rather like - but my favourites are both Soviet models... The VarioZenitar-K 25-45mm f/2.8-3.5 (a quirky but fantastic little zoom lens) and the "plastic fantastic" Zenitar-K2 2/50mm, both of which are impressively sharp and render very well indeed. They work well on both APS-C and full-frame, in different applications of course.
If you choose to do an M42 thread, I'll have to make a proper list. There are many that I treasure :lol:
