Thanks, I will try to look for an A version. I'm glad you (Andy) think it's a good lens, 'cause my 20mm is too wide sometimes.
I don't know which Pentax bodies, that will not work with K and M lenses, Alex??? I use my M85mm, K105mm, K135mm, M35mm, M50mm and M*300mm with all my Pentax'es from time to time, including the Super A, PZ-1/PZ-1p and the MZ-S - I never really notice if it's a K, M, F or FA i put on the camera :-). Of cource some don't autofocus and some don't do "P" or "Tv". I believe they will even work with the *ist D - after a firmware upgrade. Perhaps not with the *ist???

I believe that the A 24/2.8 has the same optics. Since most Pentax bodies no longer work with pre-A lenses as well as post-A lenses I would suggest holding out for the A version over the K version. Pricing on these can really vary. I bought my sample from KEH 5 years ago for about $300. In the meantime I've seen them from $100 to $300 with most prices between $200 and $300. alex
