The local pusher had their annual dog and pony show today, so I got to
play with a couple of the new lenses for the K1.
This one was shot with the 15-30. Not much to say about it, other than
that it's a brick wall.
The lens is nicely balanced to the camera, and seems very, very sharp.

K1, 15-30mm zoom, f/2.8 1/2000 at ISO 100.
Earlier today, I had a look at this lens on the Pentax web site, and I thought,
that’s a lens for me. Today I shot indoors with the DA 15-45mm & a flash and
was so frustrated with the autofocusing. I’m assuming the 15-30mm would be better
for indoor autofocusing. I may try to rent one for a few days to try it out.
The other thing I’m going to do this summer is practice my manual focusing
skills.
Cheers, Christine
The AF indoors with this lens on the K1 was just fine. I didn't try it
on any other cameras.
I'm going to enable you a little bit here. If you use manual focus a
lot, the K1 is definitely a much improved camera over the K3 (I can't
speak to the K3II). For manual focus, the K1 is definitely in a class of
it's own due to the focus assists that are built in.

Another nothing shot, but the AF was in center point, I suspect it
focused on the far wall.
