True, I used it 'back in the days' on the LX, and thought it was BIG. However, in evaluating my FF options now, and looking at it, it really is not that big :) Feels really solid, and a bit heavy. But a very nice lens! I have a few MF ones lined up for the K1 now (but will not buy one right away): A 15mm, f/3.5 K 50mm F/1.2 A* 200mm f/4 macro A* 300mm f/2.8 (plus L converters) plus several other K, M and A ones. Then a few nice FA: FA* 24mm f/2 FA* 85mm f/1.4 FA* 200mm f/2.8 FA* 400mm f/5.6 And the FA limited set of three ... At least half of those have hardly been used on APSC, so looking forward to the K1!
