Not sure what you mean. Whether I were to use it on a Pentax or
another camera is irrelevant.
Pentax-DA series lenses aren't very useful as adapted lenses because
you have no manual iris control on the lens. FA, F, A, M and K series
are better for adaptation.
I'd love to have this lens. I'll wager it costs almost as much as
the 16-50 zoom though, which will put it out of the "reasonable"
range for me. If they could sell it for $250 or less, I'd be RIGHT
THERE. I'll wager it goes for $500-600 easily, though. :-(
I expect that as a Limited it will not be a bargain priced lens. High
quality wide angle lenses are rarely cheap.
