It took us a while to release the first K5-based test but here we go ....

Looks like a good performer, it seems to improve in CA performance over the Pentax 35mm f2 which was a very good lens for the type. From your graphs, it seems like the old lens was as sharp in the center, but a bit sharper still on the borders.
What struck me is that the APS-C only DA f2.4 has the same size as the full frame 35mm f2!
Will the 35mm f1.8 DT from Sony be tested soon by you? It is the missing 35mm on APS-C in photozone's reviews now.
