Here are some more things to think about. There is also the laowa 15mm that is supposedly a strong performer. It is also a macro lens and has some tilt capability. It's $500 at B Kind of a bargain considering what you can do with it. They have a 12mm/2.8 (!) coming as well they are claiming as

John, you should look into the Samyang 14mm f2.8. It's available in K mount, full frame and for what it is, very inexpensive. It's manual focus, but at f5.6 setting focus at about 30 feet should give acceptable in focus from about 5-6 feet to infinity. Even at f 2.8 you can get acceptable

I haven't tried the DA 15 on the K1, but I would expect it to vignette significantly. The DA 12-24 vignettes to a great degree. The D FA 15-30 is a superb lens. Paul via phone > On Dec 25, 2016, at 6:18 PM, John wrote: > > Anyone try this on a K1 yet? I'm considering
