Heiko, Even before I purchased the K105mm f/2.8, the photos I took with the M100mm f/2.8 appeared too soft (@ f/2.8 and f/4) for my taste. When I started using the K105, I did notice an increased in sharpness and felt the bokeh was more pleasing than the M100... I was never fully satisfied with the M100. I also read the comments about the K105 and that is why I searched/bought one.
It is my opinion that typically, K series lenses are better performers than equivalent M series lenses. Not that M series lenses perform bad, but K series are just a notch better. Regards, Jose R.
