Somewhat incredible...

Tamron 2.5/24 vs. Pentax-110 2.8/24:

This is what it looks like on a NEX-7:

It feels good. All those Pentax-110 lenses are a bit plasticy but they still offer a nice handling.
The 24mm lens does not show as much vignetting and soft corners as the 18mm, but it does neither completely cover the APS sensor.
The corners are soft, almost blurred and darker.

Anyway, if you do not shoot landscapes or a documentary style (which would not be a good idea because you cannot stop down the lens since it does not have aperture blades), this does not really matter much:

My son planting some new seeds in our garden.

It's a very sharp lens in the centre. And fun to use on a NEX!

Cool! Never saw this 110-system in real life. Great to see how small it really is, and with great result.

Maybe it would have helped to mention, that this and all Pentax-110 lenses have no built in aperture, as that was part of the camera body? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentax_Auto_110

Has it helped that I did mention it?

I like the look of the images; the slight vignette looks really cool.
