This was my favorite go-to lens for most general photography until I got the Pentax 16-50 and it sat unused... I liked it a lot, but always wished it went WIDER. Manual focus on it was a little tricky.. not a lot of "throw" between one end and the other, but that and the not-wide-enough were my only complaints. Nice color, good out-of-focus renditioning, etc... -Charles -- Charles Robinson - charl...@visi.com Minneapolis, MN http://charles.robinsontwins.org http://www.facebook.com/charles.robinson -- 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.
