Ok, _why_ is it worth every penny? I've been intermittently tempted by it because I use the FA 100mm macro a lot. (Whether this is because it's my longest prime or because 100mm is about the right length for a lot of things like indoor birds at the zoo is hard for me to determine.) But it is not impossible with Pentax and Zeiss relative pricing to wind up paying a lot of money for about the same lens quality, so I'm curious why you say this about the ZK. -- Graydon, who figures the odds of a DA* 150/2 macro are lamentably slight. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
