Thank you
Any comparison with other 200mm macro lenses?

It is distance information. This has always been known. What bodies get
it and use it is a matter of debate and mythology.

I'll have to watch out for that. I didn't know about it at all.
Thanks.

It is great. As good as they come.

You are right, Bruce
And it is more important to take more pictures and think during shooting than only
reading test and specs.

I'm sorry, but you are going to have to get a weasel answer: it all depends.
In only one case (28-105) the Nikon is better optically, and vastly
better mechanically than the Pentax I had (FA 28-105/4-5.6 power zoom).
Otherwise, I haven't noticed the Nikkors being "sharper", when I can

Thank you very much for the answer.

So you believe that Nikkors are sharper?

If you have Nikon system, too how you assess Pentax lenses (in general) in comparison

Hi,
But you compare F100 with MZ5 which uses distant information but has not advanced

lenses!!It proves that it should be similar t

No. I believe it's significantly altered or at least differently calibrated. It is
closer to whats used in the 645N/NII.
It is far more intelligent than what used on earlier Pentaxes (like the Z-1p), which

The 3D primarily has to do with the distance from the camera to the
subject for flash metering. While distance information has been
available from Pentax lenses, it wasn't used for exposure calculation
until some of the newer cameras came out. I don't think that there is

The MZ-S has one of the best matrix metering systems in business; perhaps only
surpassed by the F5.

Strange. SO maybe you are they are tested nearly full open.
What do you think?
