I would also add that research for this lens may be minimal: there are already 2 old lenses near the required FLs (K45-125/4 and F35-135/3.5-4.5). According to Stan's site (the other indispensable resource and also on par with the two I mentioned yesterday) they were both good, though we have limited samples. Kostas
