@Mike Tomkins: on scanning the gallery, I stopped on this young teenager with a blue T-shirt... Hmm, I have already seen this "model"... He fed reviews on another welknown webiste (IR) since he was...

@Rodelcam: you were perfectly right about the teaser, it has hair on the top... :-)

Looks like an alien with a brain tumour

I have Pentax lenses DA35mmF2.4 and DA50mmF1.8 on K-5 body. Both have a plastic mount and I always take the camera out of the bag by the lens. And this since many years. Not a sign of any problem....

Eastern manufacturing, western price... Times have changed.

Nothing new under the hood here? Take a look at the video at time 4:00 and you will see some "significant" vignetting here at 32mm WO. Probably increasing on focusing toward 24mm... Difficult to...
