Hi,
here few shots with this combo processed by DXO Raw converter and the lens modul for the kit lens. I bought the cam with the lens as a kit and planned to sell the lens. I believe I will hold it for the days I will go out with no MF lenses. The lens is worth the approx. 100 € in the kit price. Stopped down to f/5.6 or higher not too bad IQ.
All images at around f 5.6 to f/8, 3rd wide open.

Yes, it is. From the signpost (#2) up to the river (horizon) we have had the highwater few weeks ago. You can see it today as well, no more high water but the flora (and maybe the fauna) has some problems.

The Pentax kit lens is widely considered to be probably the best kit lens in production. And you are doing it justice.

Certainly ergonomically it kills the Canon as it has a usable focus ring, seems to maintain a lot more saturation in bad light too. Do you need the water resistance? You could consider selling it and replacing it with the non WR version which sells for about 1/5 of the price new as I believe it's pretty much the same lens. |

Great results! I have used mine probably 1-2 times, but that's all. I'd recommend to keep it though because the camera is easier to sell in the future with the WR-ed kit lens.
