Heya Cotty Yeah I know it's pretty decent.. I'm saving up for one now.. just that the only ones with HSM are Canon and Nikon.. The Pentax and Minolta versions are HSMless.. missing some circuits. Unfortunately for P and M, even the third party manufacturers pay more attention to C and N. For example, the EX 120-300 2.8 isn't out in a Pentax mount yet. Even in their existing macro range, for P and M mounts they (mostly I think) only stop down to 32, while in the N and C they stop down to 45.. Cheers, Ryan

Best of the pack. Not cheap either!
