Wow the Pentax triple.. Voted for the polls but I never thought I'd see them drop.. Sure is a good deal though for US / Europe prices..
For people not familiar with Pentax, the Pentax Limited range is really a bang for buck and compact package, considering the image quality can rival larger and more expensive setups. I've enjoyed a few Limiteds such as DA 15, DA 21, and they've served me well with images people would not believe came from a 7-year old APS-C camera the Pentax K-7.
I have all three of these lenses and they are spectacular, especially on the K-1. The image quality of these lenses is really good - sharp even wide open, great color, and the bokeh on the 31 and 77 are smooooooth. It's amazing how small they are, probably because they don't have a motor in them and rely on the screw drive motor in the camera.
One thing I like about the Pentax system is that any lens you put on a modern body is stabilized. So 5 axis, 5 stop stabilization for these and all lenses. These Limiteds really are a treat to use.
Great build, images with character and life and a feel that is often missing from optics that only strive to hit the highest resolution ratings. I would jump in at these prices if I didn't already own these - good luck Massdrop!
Here are some pics I've taken with Pentax gear over the years:

These are some amazing, unique lenses for sure. They might not be technically superior to modern lenses, but they give a really special look. I'm quite surprised to see Pentax lenses on here, and hope that there is enough support for them! :)
