Pentax offers nothing truly comparable to the 58 Nokton, the FA 50/1.4
handles worse (particularly for manual focus, the Nokton has a large
and well damped focus ring) and has significant QC problems with
recent production and the DA* 55 is about twice the price of the
Nokton and both are shorter lenses in a range where smaller focal
length differences remain noticeable.
At the wide end Pentax is lacking any fast glass wider than 31mm.
While Pentax lenses are excellent, Pentax really has not provided a
full lens line unless your needs are small but slow primes and/or f2.8
zooms.

You consider the DA 14mm ƒ2.8 slow?
