That is pretty nice. All the Pentax manual focus f4.0 lenses are
supposed to be very good. Though going against the usual form while the
the M is supposed to be the best optically. I have an M version of the
lens and I've never noticed any CA on a digital body even while pixel
peeping. I have seen a fare amount of sensor bloom in high contrast
images.

I added a few shots to the set. Had a chance to shoot in bright sunlight
today.
The lens does exhibit some fringing, but less than many lenses pretty much
toward the edge (image imgp7583 center and full image) and not much in the
center (image imgp7581 center) though it is visible in a high-contrast edge
(imgp7571 center).
What impresses me most is the image rendering (imgp 7571 & imgp7577 full
image). The tree is beautifully separated from the background.
Bokeh is clean, for lack of a better term.
Conclusion: While I do not really like the fringing it's not offensive on
this lens. And after shooting LF the rendering principle is always in the
forefront of my evaluations. This lens certainly passed today.
