I suspect you probably wouldn't miss the auto focus if you are mainly shooting macros (and you'd get trap focus, a benefit with shooting insects, which you won't if you are using the FA with an auto focus body like the zx-5n). You might check the kmount page to see if the optical formula is the same. Good luck, Dan Scott [EMAIL PROTECTED] - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
