Thanks for the update.
Let us know how you fare
(maybe on Camera Enthusiast for the GH1,
as it would be a non-Pentax lens on a non-Pentax body).
Was the Kiron expensive?

At 24mm/1in, I use the K24/2.8, Tamron 17-50/2.8 A16P, and ZK25/2.8.
Each has its strong points (in my experience of still photography on APS-C).
Unfortunately, unless you have a lucky find with the K24/2.8,
they'll set you back 2 - 10 times RichyX's budget of 100 Euros.
The Tamron has the best resolution, and no distortion (at 24mm).
But like many modern lenses, its images seem a bit soulless.
The K24/2.8 is the most compact, making it an excellent street lens.
The ZK25 is small for a ZK, intermediate in size
between the K24/2.8 and the Tamron A16P.
It's tricky to use, but the rendering is magic,
and it resists flare very well.
The GH1 would be using the lens's central sweet spot.
