Sir, I wasnt talking to you, I was talking to someone who already said he PREFERRED the focus "feel" of the K/M/M42 but then said it detract from the A usage. Thats contradictory.
Secondly, I never said it wasnt possible to focus an "A" lens just as accurately, it just feels like crap doing so. Its like driving a mercedes vs driving a yugo. They both may get you where you want to go, but its not the same experience. Lastly, the HDTV thing is not a personal preference thing either, HDTV does everything standard TV does, just more accurately which is undeniably better, not like saying you want a rubber "A" series ring instead of a smooth focus which would be a personal choice if you cant have both. HDTV gives you everything a standard tv gives you and more, there is nothing given up. ( like ultra smooth focus lost on a typical "A" lens vs a K/M42 lens). jco -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Digital Image Studio Sent: Tuesday, January 09, 2007 7:13 PM To: Pentax-Discuss Mail List Subject: Re: FS: Pentax SMC-A 35mm f/2 On 10/01/07, J.

The "feel" or apparent quality of "build" of the better A series lenses certainly does not limit my ability to manual focus. In fact I much prefer the consistency and feel of the the focus ring grips on the A series lenses if I'm to be honest. This is simply my opinion of course. -- Rob Studdert HURSTVILLE AUSTRALIA Tel +61-2-9554-4110 UTC(GMT) +10 Hours [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://home.swiftdsl.com.au/~distudio//publications/ Pentax user since 1986, PDMLer since 1998 -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
