Any comments on this lens?
With regard to the D/DS bodies, there has been a lot of polarized discussion of it. Some love it, others hate it. I've seen both good and bad results from it.
It is large and heavy. I saw a lot of chromatic aberration in some sample exposures I was sent by my friend in England. Paul Stenquist's comparison pictures between it and the A24/2.8 demonstrated the A24/2.8 to be a much better performer at nearly all apertures.
I don't know the K24/2.8. If it is the same optically as the A24/2.8, I'd stick with that or go for the FA20-35/4 AL if you want autofocus and this focal length. I have one of the A24s as well, prefer that over the FA*24/2.
