I have both the M28/3.5 and the K30/2.8. While I feel the K30 is the better lens, the M28/3.5 is certainly no slouch, and it is pretty tough to tell the difference with everyday subjects. Only with closer subjects at the wider apertures do I really feel like I would definitely prefer the K30, and this is really just a matter of taste (bokeh).
