The best buy in longish Pentax glass is probably the A400/5.6. They sometimes
go for just a couple hundred. The M and K versions won't focus close enough for
bird or small animal photography unless used with a short extension tube.
Have you used yours on the K5 yet? I don't think I've used my A400/5.6 since
the K10.
Which is sad.
I've used it a couple of times with the K5. Purple fringing was somewhat of a
problem with this lens on earlier Pentax DSLRs. It seems less prone to that
with the K-5. Here's a pic I shot with it a couple of weeks ago. I like it
because it's light enough for handholding, yet has good reach and fairly close
focus capability.
A little less content than your usual.
