That means the one I've found is a bit of a bargain, especially 
considering its good condition.  I've never seen one of these before so 
they can't be too common in these parts.

I've been thinking that if I carried this lens I would not be likely to 
carry the FA 24mm as well.  In fact I did consider buying an A24mm f/2.8 
which I saw a few weeks back, just for the saving in size and weight when 
I want to travel light.  I decided against that one due to the 
duplication of focal length.

I also like using teles but wides are not a problem for me.  I already 
own the Pentax 15mm and am well aware of the problems associated with 
viewfinders that have indadequate coverage (one of my little peeves).

I agree that 20mm and 35mm make a good combination.

I'll need to check out the distortion... and also think of whether I 
really this lens ;)
