Re: I got my *ist D and I LOVE IT !!!

Yes I do, as I like the shallow DOF.  See this month PUG (and maybe 
next month).

I have heard some nice things about both the Sigma and the Tamron.  I 
even had an offer to buy the Tamron 90mm, but wanted a Pentax instead 
:-(

Do you really do a lot of macro wide open though?

I find I have to stop down quite a lot to get any kind of depth of 
field
anyway, so this would not be a killer.  Not nice though!

You could always get the Sigma 105 which is nice, or someone else
(tamron?) makes a good 90 I think.  I always thought the Pentax was
supposed to be superior to these except for the huge weight though...

Then, I´ve got a problem.  This is the one lens I´ve been considering
to buy together with an *istD (and a 16-45), as my Vivitar 2x macro
converter is the only K-mount I use regularly.
Have anybody tested any other macros?

The biggest disappointment there, imo, is the FA100/2.8
macro. At full
opening it shows enough chromatic aberration to be
unusable. It's OK
at f/8, though.
