I just bought a good condition K24/2.8 to use on a digital 1.5x body -
any comments/advice on this lens? I gather it's sharp in the centre wide
open and sings stopped down a bit? I tend to be f/8 and be there on the
street anyway, so hoping this will be a good lens to use in these
circumstances.

I have the A 2.8/28 mm which I understand is optically identical. It is a great lens and one of my favourites. I particularly love the shape of the stars around the highlights in my night shots.

Its sharpness and resolution are outstanding.

One little drawback with APS-C: While distorsion is very low at the borders of a normal full-frame negative it is markedly more pronounced a little further inwards, in an area which unfortunately falls near the borders of APS-C. Nothing really dramatic but noticable nonetheless.
