Well I don't use this lens much as I've only got a Centon K100 for this mount. And from my results (which I'm happy with) you can't always judge a lens from shots of a brick wall. All shots dev and scanned at a supermarket with corrections to their scans (which are usually overdone for prints)...in Photoshop
Pentax zoom 24-35mm set at 28mm, film superia 200
Rikenon XR 28mm f2.8 for comparison, film superia 200
Pentax 24mm-35mm maybe a bit over saturated but I like pretty shots on the right subject, superia 200
Pentax 24mm-35mm Superia 200

Well I'd be surprised if it was as good as a recommended prime.
But just for interest for a lens you dislike (I'm open minded):-
Sigma 28mm mini-wide II

There's a magenta cast on that Sigma shot, scanning issue?
I disliked my copy, but with Sigma, that doesn't mean much, they weren't known for their QC or consistency.

Should be corrected ? H'mm on comparing the two shots it look like the Pentax lens shot has a slight yellow cast..OH well

Yup, colours look spot on now. Just wondered if you knew what was at fault, I often get magenta casts scanning C41 and never been sure if it was the film or the scanner. Easy enough to fix of course.
Your Sigma is clearly better than mine was, mine had noticeable drop off in quality in the corners.

If a film is old it can give a colour cast, but most problems are caused by the scanner esp grain\aliasing\haloes...that's why many of the colour neg film shots shown look a bit grainy, unless you use a very good pro lab.
