You know, the mailing of CdI often receive some comments like what I already readed on the pdml list. So I know a little of their answers. I already write them about this You know, the 43mm, they did not give it a final conclusion (as often) they say for who this lens is aimed and the quality of the lens. Even, in France, some users disagree the tests compare to their own experience. I am waiting for their answer, so please, be patient ! --- W Keith Mosier <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> a écrit : > Pentax Clover has posted several times extolling the > virtues of CdI > magazine.
