This lens is my go to when the 21mm isn't wide enough. I originally got it to replace the FAJ 18-35 kit lens that came on my *istD. Was a reasonably priced upgrade to that lens. It has fairly good IQ and the constant f4 is nice. True it is a little short on the long end but was better on both e

Christine, I do like these  Unlike the others, I don't think you overdid the vignetting , however, I would move the midpoint slider to about 70. Just my thought. I feel it works with the desaturation and color retention that you are using. Keep experimenting. Ted -- PDML Pentax-Discuss
