Very true. And why should we expect anyone to settle for less than the best price he can get for his stuff? Personally, I know the max price I can afford to offer for the stuff I want to buy, and that's as high as I will go. That's why I don't have a whole lot of items behind my eBay ID. I

The only problem in this whole thing is that you are the only person that gets to see all of the prints. All the submitters get to see are their own prints. Not that you aren't a good judge, only that quality, like bokeh and beauty, are in the eye of the beholder. Two or three more judges

I don't think it's anywhere near the high quality of the Bow Wow Tak 20mm. The Spiratone lenses I've come across in my life were all very soft. I haven't used all of them by any means, so this one may be different. You may want to submit the info for your lens to the folks that run this

Now this reminds me of a while back on the list when I said that a photographer had to know something about photography and his/her equipment to be able to claim to be a photographer. At that time, it was determined by a bunch of people that a photographer is a person that takes pictures.

Sigma EX lenses are usually high quality. They are usually pretty expensive, too. I think that's what EX means, EXpensive. ;-) They are money savers compared to OEM glass of the same (or better) quality, usually. Personally, I prefer the Tokina Pro glass, though sometimes, for the cost

Well, that allays that fear. The A50 1.2 has been disassembled and nothing but metal was found in the lens body. The elements are all glass. I guess the difference in weight could be in the metals used, then. Does the K perform better than the A? Is the focussing smoother? Does the aperture
