I've done RE work with the K-1 for years, and I wouldn't dream of going to a job without at least a 15mm lens. Many of my scenes are shot tighter, especially in larger homes and spaces, but there's no substitute for a wide lens when you need to depict a small bathroom or kitchen, and you might find in older homes. You can only back up so far.

For that, Panny offers a 16-35 zoom. I could work with that. Also an economical 15mm MF lens from Laowa. So it looks like the L-mount has that box checked.

I was looking a that. The Lumix S Pro 16-35mm F4 is $1498, vs the Pentax D-FA 15-30mm F2.8 at $1296 (both Amazon prices).
