Hi JCO, so you're one of the seemingly rare owners of the K120. I acquired one a few weeks ago, as a traveling companion for A24 and K50/1.4 on the LX. They all share 52mm filter thread, that's important to me. It's one of the few lenses Stan's list has no information about, so I was slightly unsure, but at last I got it. Maybe Stan will update his page some day. I was not really searching for it, it came across me on ebay and I decided that it was more suitable for my needs than K135/3.5, at the expense of 15mm. Faster, and less bulky. Nice to read that it seems to be a good lens, I had no time yet to try it. Of course, build quality is in the "K Standard". Maybe it's time to confess that I'm ready for LBA. I must admit that there is something of a colector in me, not a photgrapher only. Meanwhile, there are 18/3.5, 28/3.5, 30/2.8, 35/3.5, 50/1.4, 55/1.8, 85/1.8, 105/2.8, 120/2.8, 135/2.5, 135/3.5 and 45-125/4 of the K series right here. Unfortunately, some months ago somebody was willing to spend more money on a 24/3.5 than I was...
