rotates?

No, they didn't put that feature on this lens.

>How's the build quality?

Superb, really solid. Mine has no rattles at
all, focus is smooth and the aperture has an
excellent feel. It is a pretty hefty little
lens. In terms of build, it reminds me more of
my SMC-P 45mm, f/4.5 6x7 lens than anything else
(except smaller).

>Is this lens noticeably sharper, more contrasty
than the K?

It is noticably sharper and contrastier than my
Tokina 17mm, I find it has excellent imaging
properties.

> Does it have noticeably more resolution?

It is very sharp. I don't have a K version to
compare it with.
Pity about the non rotating front element. I
always thought it was missing something.<G>
