Re: Pentax-A* 1200/8 ED IF

BTW I see that in Japan the A* 1200/8 cost only 10% more than the FA* 600/4. At least around here the price difference is much larger. It seems to cost $8500 in Japan. Not too bad relatively speaking. Pål - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List. To unsubscribe, go to http://www.p

Re: Pentax-A* 1200/8 ED IF

Well, I had fun taking the half-dozen or so shots I took before selling my SMC Takumar 500/4.5 + 1.4X (700mm) lens. But the 400/5.6 PKA is ever so much lighter and so much easier to set up and use, esp. with manual focus. I've decided that 400 is plenty focal length for me. Pål wrote: (I admi

One day several years ago I was talking to Pentax Canada and they said they had one and were looking to get rid of it. I bet if you contacted them they might still have it. Who knows, you could mortgage your house In a message dated 4/29/02 7:58:38 AM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:

You and me both (having an irrational lust for this lens). Close focus of 26 feet is what puts me over the edge. I could sell the cars and mortgage the house, if I really had to have one though. Steve Larson Redondo Beach, California Pål Audun Jensen wrote: Has anyone actually used or even seen
