you mean to say: from me.... I now use the M28/f2. Both lenses are not FREE designs. However, the K28/f2 has a floating element. This is what the "Color Foto photokina Sonderheft" (special photokina 1976 edition of German magazine Color Foto) has to tell about the then new K28/f2: "Dieses hochlichtstarke WW-Objektiv besitzt 'floating elements', d.h. im Nahbereich erfolgt eine korrigierende Linsengruppenverschiebung. Dadurch wird im Nahbereich die Abbildungsqualität verbessert". (This fast wide angle lens has floating elements, meaning that at close focusing a correcting lens group moves. Thus the picture quality at close focus is improved.) I very much doubt that there is a second version of the K28/f2 - the M28/f2 was introduced only four years after the K28/f2 had been introduced. My best wishes for everybody for the coming New Year, Arnold - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List. To unsubscribe, go to http://www.pdml.net and follow the directions.
