Hey there, I have one of these. If Pentax doesn't get the DSLR to market pretty soon it'll belong to Bruce.
To answer your questions: - The manual focus ring is as bad as anything out there. - Bokeh....I'm not sure. I've shot a few things with it wide open, but not a lot. Here are some examples: http://www.bigdayphoto.com/knob/skgo-26.html http://www.bigdayphoto.com/knob/skgo-24.html http://www.bigdayphoto.com/knob/skgo-25.html http://www.bigdayphoto.com/knob/skgo-33.html http://www.bigdayphoto.com/knob/skgo-35.html http://www.bigdayphoto.com/knob/skgo-31.html I don't promise these are all wide open. In case you're wondering, these are photos from a hiking trail dedication. This guy through hiked the Appalachian Trail at the age of 70: http://www.bigdayphoto.com/knob/skgo-10.html - It's very sharp. - I have no idea how much it's worth. I thought it was a good deal new. Also, it only has click stops for whole apertures. You can balance it in between, but there's no click. In summary, it's got nice optics, crappy build. tv > -----Original Message----- > From: Łukasz Kacperczyk [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Monday, February 24, 2003 10:40 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Opinions on FA 100/3.5 Macro > > > Hi all, > > I'm looking for opinions on the FA 100/3.5 Macro lens.
