It is not like that. To hint at a link with a different thread running
at the mo, both the Pentax F28-80/3.5-4.5 and the FA28-80/3.5-5.6 are
at their most retracted at just under 50 (is that 43 then?). The F
interferes with the flash[1] at 28-35 on the MZ-50 (the FA doesn't, or
I haven't noticed, or the manual just does not list it). The FA
interferes with the MZ-5n at *all lengths* depending on the distance of
the subject, I did not expect this.
As I said, the lists in the manuals are not complete. Pity really.
