Hi! Shel recently showed us a picture and added that he wasn't quite sure about performance of his K 24/2.8...
Now, having thought about it a bit, I present you a question. Is there a focal distance at which short distance performance of a wide lens is noticeably worse than at infinity? For example, I should say that I made quite a few shots with my 31 Ltd (my widest Pentax lens now) at very close distance (around 1 meter) and I really liked the results. Both shots from my photoblog that I recently posted were made with 31 Ltd. When I had K 24/2.8 I also had mixed feelings about its close range performance. But at the time I thought it was due to my poor eyesight and bad manual focusing technique... -- Boris
