Absolutely constant f4. Pentax seems to have a knack for making these. For me, I'll give up the stop to get a lighter lens. I also like that 135 top end and 35 seems a fairly reasonable low end for me. 50 would be ok, but the lens would be coming off more often. I could also live with an adaptor to the 4/3 body if the AF still worked. Just kidding about the camo but I am fond of olive drab.
