I'm excited about this lens. It would certainly make the sort of macro shots I'm interested in much easier. Maybe we should petition Laowa to include K-mount.

Focus to infinity. There's a few sample videos on the page linked below that look impressive. The lens comes with a waterproof tube with a built-in LED ring light at the tip - clever. The shots of the bees and ants are intriguing because it is normally difficult to get that close without "spooking" the insect. It's shown on a Canon 5D body so it probably has a FF image circle.

The blog says Nikon and Canon, no mention of Pentax. Looks like it is full manual only. I bet you could swap out the Nikon mount with a K-mount taken from an old lens or teleconverter.

See the second to last photo of the rear of the lens.

I guess none of the PF members that went CP+ last year stopped by the Laowa booth and spotted this lens.

We're still waiting for their 100mm 2× macro that should come in K-mount.
