I was once given the AF version of this lens to shoot for few days. It was extremely good. The only problem was rather weak flare resistance. It was easily as sharp as k24/2.8 that I had at the time. Color rendition was slightly different but not bad at all. Later I was interested and

Two lenses in excellent condition -- the AF Sigma 24mm f/2.8 Super-Wide II and the MF (with Pentax-A contacts) Sigma 24mm f/2.8 Super-Wide II lenses in Pentax mount. The AF lens seems to need a -1.0 EF adjustment on most Pentax digital bodies; the MF lens needs -1.3 EF or so (this seems to be
