Now I understand: this lens is not sharp as today expected (micro and macro contrast push-up), it's closer to film era than the digital one, with an excellent sharpness with amazing 3D effect.

Great image quality with 3D effect

A bit high CA wide open

Pentax 14mm f/2.8 ED IF SMC P-DA review by sjwaldron

Picked up the lens locally used for a great price. What I like: - Seriously excellent at limiting chromatic aberration! - Seriously excellent sharpness, especially at MTF! - Quick-shift focusing ability without having the focus ring turn when AF is happening.

Excellent at limiting chromatic aberration and generall a sharp lens

Manual focus ring grainy; not WR; APS-C only imaging circle
