Hah! You're right, Bob. I misread. Or maybe mis-stated. Along the way, the thread began mentioning both the f/2.8 and the f/4.0. I have the 4.0. Which is not to say if I found a 2.8 somewhere I might not have tried to get it! <g> I can see why you thought the lens might overbalance the body! That's a big one! The f/4.0 version is far more reasonable in size. It's almost identical in size to my SMC Pentax-A zoom 1:4 35-70mm lens. keith whaley > > Hi Pål, > > That doesn't bother me, because I don't have an automatic Pentax.
