HD Pentax-DA* 11-18mm F2.8
HD Pentax-D FA* 50mm F1.4 SDM AW
Almost a first.... an F2.8 wide angle APSc zoom looks an interesting choice of FLs, nice and bright, could be goodie.
Finally a decent standard zoom for K mount FF? No doubt that the FA 50mm F1.4 is getting long in the tooth these days.
The now question is: is that it Pentax and for how long?
