I absolutely concur on this about the 75-150/f4 M lens. I recently had to
take some shots of damage on my house, and the pictures of a roof 35 feet up
and away are every bit as sharp with this lens as the pictures I took of the
lower part of the house, only five feet away, with my FA 50mm f1.4. (Another
lens also noted for its sharpness...)

> M. Wow! Very sharp for any lens." George Stanley: "I used [another Pentax

smaller.

F4
