I love my K500 4.5. Here's that PESO I posted recently where I used that lens: http://www.neovenator.com/special/blueangelscrossover.html It can produce some chromatic abberration around blown highlights, but that's easily corrected in RAW processing. I've never used the lens on a film camera, so I don't know how it performs there. My favorite part of the lens is the two gunsights on the top. They make it SO much easier to shoot action!
