Has anyone here used any of the Voigtlander lenses that CameraQuest
lists here?

http://www.cameraquest.com/Voigt%20SL.htm

I'm particularly interested in the 40/2 and 75/2.5 which are each listed
below 300USD.  the page speaks of a Pentax K-A mount option.  I'm
guessing that this is the equivalent of a Pentax SMC-A lens, from
looking at the KMP (http://www.bdimitrov.de/kmp/) which if that implies
a A mode aperture ring setting, would mean that these would be very
useful lenses on my *istDS..  Gandy has no pictures of the Ka-mount
versions, so I don't know if the A setting is actually present.

So, does anyone here own one of these lenses, or know of a quality
comparison with similar Pentax SMC-A lenses?  Am I better off saving my
pennies for a couple new Pentax (FA 77/1.8, FA 43/1.9, DA 40/2.8)
lenses, or hoping to find a used A/F/FA?

Thanks in advance. I've only found a single discussion of the lenses
online (in a  photo.net discussion), and there was no resolution.
