As I might have said last time this lens got a mention, on my trip to Egypt a couple of years ago more than 70% of my shots were with it. Sharp, not heavy, I found it very useful. I have the same issue with the lens hood as David, though - not a deal-breaker.

It's sharp wide open. It takes about 85-90% of the pictures that I shoot. The only problem that I've had is that the lens hood detents on the hood bayonet have worn down. It makes the hood loose, but that is a minor issue. -- 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.
