At the time we did the National Pass walk and paid a short visit to Govetts Leap (standard tour ... we had a guest from overseas).

I reckon you are referring to Bridal Veil Falls.


 

It is sad that after 2 years (since the previous review), the QC remains as messy as it always was ...

I agree. There is much to like about this lens but Pentax is missing out on a sale in this case because of lack of QC. And it can happen to all their lenses. Two years ago I bought a FA 31mm straight from the Ricoh shop and it was horrible up to about f/2.8. 

 

But I am a happy user, I have many Pentax lenses (some might even say more than enough lenses) which are excellent. And Pentax DSLRs have a lot going for them. But QC, notably with the lenses, seem like an obvious area for improvement.
