Hi! And if you want a 200mm prime instead of the 4th: M 200mm f/4 Lon, mind if I ask you (and other wizards) about this very lens. Is it heavy? How's it optically? Is there A version? Boris

Is this a private collection or does this guy own a store? If this is just a hobby, I think we can safely say that he's not bothered by the price of the *istD. Maybe we could write to him and have a PDML meeting at his house. He certainly justifies the pentax-fan title in the URL. Steven
