The f2.4 aperture isn't so strange, if you go back to the earlier days of
Pentax lenses. There was, an Auto Takumar 35mm f2.4, at one point. I
wonder if they've just dusted off the old optical formula and put it in a
plastic body... Naa, they wouldn't it would have to be a new design.
There was also a K 35mm f/3.5. In 1975.
It had the decency of having a metal mount too.

I have that lens as an SMC Takumar in m43 mount, (wide open metering
goodness on a SPF and ES/ESII), it's very compact. Small enough to be a
DA limited, with better construction. Very sharp, just kind of a PITA
to focus even with micro-prism and split image aids.
