Hope you enjoy yours, Joe. I certainly enjoy mine, as you know. This lens seems to be underrated by a lot of PDMLers. Although new 50/1.2s are now rare, used ones come up on eBay now and then. I got both my K and A versions on the 'Bay, and both were in excellent condition. Regards, Jim -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
