Hi Wendy,
I have the 70-200 f2.8 EX Sigma (one of the latest
models), and as a lens its fantastic in built,
sharpness, contrast and very slightly colder than SMC

HOWEVER (perhaps of general interest to the PDML), the
lens seems to be having a problem with my MZ-s in
terms of autofocus. It

Point taken Bill, thanks - but is the aperture on
these lenses wide enough?, seeing that the DOF
increases with increased angles
Of course the level of blur or 'bokeh'(i believe)is
subjective, I just wanted to knoe whether it is
somewhat achieveabke, say equivalent to an f4 on a
50mm, or f5.6?
Sorry to interject but as someone's already asked
about this lens (which I am really interested in) I am
also curious about the depth of field for
FA 20 - 35 in particular, but also the 17-35.
Not having any lenses that go below 24mm, and wanting
to have tpossibility to blur background beyond 2-3

Overall, I agree with the thread saying that many
Pentax cameras are generally underrated like the
Z-1(p), LX, MZ-S and MZ-3.
However, among this group/pentax owners My bet would
be on the SuperA, seems to be completeseems
because I never actually had one but lusted when
looking to rid myself
Thanks all...
Does the cord HAVE to be the pentax one? Or can it be
any flash cord?

Hi Jason, I can answer a few of your points.
Point 1.
Overriding the A from the lens, means going into M

dial on the body. the green button on the front of the
body will bring you back to Program. There is no way
to get aperture priority from
Without doubt, the FA 28-80 3.5-4.5 power zoom, that
was sold with the Z-1.
Terrible build lens, Wobbly inner barrel that over the
years fell out. Sticky aperure blades, and over time,
refused to focus at infinity
Great stuff seeking new owners in Yahoo! Auctions!

No, I belive the offposite should happen, as more
light comes to the AF sensor, the more contrast,
therefore less hunting.
I do not knoe if there is a noticeable difference with
the apertures you mention, but between 2.8 and 5.6
there might be.

What is your experience with the LX and Metz 40MZ3i in

I find it difficult to get well balanced shots with
this combination (tends to overexpose).
I have been shooting it on x synchro at f4. For the
type of shots I do, I need to automise it as much as
possible...
