RE: Some lenses : Misinformation
The SMC K28/3.5 lens is NOT the same formula as the excellent SMC Takumar. Altough many of the early K mount lenses were just re-mounts of earlier screwmount lenses, but in this case excellent wasnt good enough so Pentax put out a brand new optical designed lens with 8 elements instead of the old 7 element version. the K28/3.5 has truly outstanding contrast and color saturaton as well as resolution -- J.C.

Re: Some lenses : Misinformation
This is a shot I took a few years ago with the K28/3.5 wide open on the K10D. Although a web image isn't the best way to convey this kind of message, I find the detail rendering amazing. http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=5513023size=lg On Jul 15, 2010, at 3:49 PM, J.C.
