Do I want to know what one of those lenses goes for?
No. It was the companion to the 80-200/f2.8, and priced accordingly. I never got round to purchasing one of these back in the film days (mainly, I must admit, because the 28-105 was pretty darn good in decent light, which is when I'd have used it most). Nowadays you've already got the 16-50, so you'd be paying an awful lot for that extra 20mm (plus the ability to use 'normal' focal lengths as well as short telephoto without changing lenses). -- 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.
