I picked up a D-FA 100 macro a few months ago, mostly to replace the
Kiron 105mm f2.8, which suffers from pretty bad CA on the K10D.
Haven't run it through any rigorous tests - but it seems to be fine.
Ergonomics are great - the manual focus grip is large and the AF/MF

Focal length is focal length. Don't get hung up on the relative
image size compared to what you get on a 35mm camera.
If the focal length of the lens is 28, set the SR to 28.
Page 69 in the English K10D manual:
Select from the following 35 focal length values. (The default
setting is 35.)
[...]
caution:
- if the focal length for your lens is not listed above, select
the value closest to the actual focal length.

Yes, I suspect an assumption on your part. No need to do mental
conversions in your head. You put in the actual focal length of the
