Still wouldn't be enough to make the lens usable for my purposes. Pity really. Somehow, the whole wide-angle business appears to be Pentax' weak point. The 2.8/24 mm has a real nasty barrel distorsion, the 2.8/28 mm is a notorious under-achiever, and the 2.8/35 mm is prone to sticky aperture blades (so much that I haven't seen a working example on ebay.de for ages - those who were claimed to be OK were just as bad).
