Yeah, I agree, those lenses are stellar, although I only have the FA*24 f/2.
They're so expensive, I have to find things to sell or trade in when I see
one I want. Unfortunately, by the time I can scrape together the cash,
they're usually sold.
If anyone has a whole series of FA* lenses they want to trade for an
autographed Pia Zadora 8x10 or a complete set of Leonard Maltin action
figures, please email off-list. Hee.
I was at a garage sale last week and the woman had a single M 135 f/3.5 in a
case; I almost missed it. I held it up to the light; the thing was so full
of fungus it was amazing. I left it where it was. I have this fantasy of
finding such a sale where someone is dumping all this Pentax stuff for
really cheap. So far, it remains a fantasy.

Subject: Re: Colour-presentation of Pentax lenses compared to Other
Brands
My most profound revelation on colour casts in lenses happened when I
got my first ED (F*-FA*) lens. All of my shots on non-ED glass looked like
silly little snapshots, with highly unrealistic colour. The ED glass
focusses all of the colours on the same point (plane), yeilding a marvelous
rendition withh accurate, saturated, and in-focus colours. I then traded in
all of my other lenses on the high-end stuff, and now own a FA*24 f2, an FA*
28-70 f2.8, an FA*85 f1.4, and the fabulous F* 300 f4.5. They really do make
a huge difference, especially in the colour department.
