Just picked up my DA 14 f2.8 at the post office. Not the first on the list with it, but the first North American? Anyway, I definitely set the record as the PDMLer who waited longest for it after placing an order (on 3 June).
Nicely built, heavy, lots of resistance in manual focus. Thanks, Nguyen. Thanks, Manolo. Setting the *ist D to MTF program line yields f5.6 in sunlight. This is where Pentax thinks the lens is best. Makes sense: two stops below wide open. Unfortunately, DOF marks are not provided for apertures wider than f8. You kids behave. Papa's gonna play with his new toy. Joe
