I will get that one for sure, I have the 01 standard (43mm eq) and the fisheye, so I am really lacking some longer autofocus lens.The specs look really good with a constant 2.8 and around 80-250mm range making it a nice 2-lens combo with the standard lens. (Lowest price in Europe I have seen is 259 Euros, but not in stock yet) Of course the new firmware makes using all the other K-mount glass a lot more practical as well. I played around a bit with the DA 35mm macro and it is really usable now (used to be OK, but a bit hard to focus and keep still). With working SR on that now, I can use it handheld most of the time. The 180mm equivalent is quite nice for flower/insect macro work.
