On second observation, I don't think there is anything wrong with my
copy of this lens. Had another look at the images today on my laptop
using BibbleLite instead of Photoshop CS and they appear fine for the
most part. I think I was making a presumption based on viewing previews
of the RAW images in the CS Browser. When viewing these on the LCD
laptop with Bibble they appear very sharp and crisp. Very surprising
for a $45 lens, but then again it is a Pentax FA.
Here is a sample:

I have one of the newer (silver) FA 80-200 f4.7-5.6 zoom lenses. I just
noticed over the weekend that the majority of pictures taken with this
lens that the RAW images seem to have a sort of a "haze" or cloudy look
to them. Can't figure out what may cause this nor have not seen it in
any other lenses I have. The images can be corrected in ACR by
adjusting the shadow slider. I bought this lens on eBay for $45 so
maybe it is defective. Anyone else experience anything like this?
Thanks,
JayT
