An FA50-200 2.8, focusing down to three feet. That lens would spend a lot of time on my MZ-S. And couldn't they make the 24-90 a constant f4? I really don't like variable aperture zooms. Pat White - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List. To unsubscribe, go to http://www.pdml.net a

Yes, I know about the A*200/2.8 - in fact I have one - but I'd still like something between 150mm and 200mm. Also, a 250mm/2.8 or so would be nice. The FA*24/2.0 is huge, and it's auto focus. Not my cup o' tea. Mark Erickson wrote: > > Shel, > > Pentax (almost) makes (or made) a couple of the
