I've owned the A and M(1st version) 28/2.8's and now use a Tamron

superior to either.

Just saw this...
the M I have (maybe not the very first one) is what I've been putting on
the darkside camera
to shoot with . I've had it since 1975... Asahi SMC M 28 2.8 -
though I seldom shot it wide open.
I like it a lot.

The A28/2.8 was one of my first Pentax lenses. It was a little soft
wide-open, very sharp by f/4-5.6, and had beautiful bokeh throughout.
Never had the M version. Couldn't find *any* of the f/2 28mm lenses of
any series ... I kept looking for practically the whole time I was
using Pentax equipment. A friend had the K series 28mm f/3.5 ... it
definitely out-performed the A wide open, was otherwise similar.
