Mark,
I don't know about other Pentax lenses too, but lately I found out that I like Pentax's color rendition and sharpness better than Nikon's. Comparing 77/1.8 with Nikkor AF 85/1.8 (one of Nikon's sharpest) shows that 77 offers more 'separation' between focused object and background (3D look). Seems like Pentax has more resolution to resolve. Of course Nikon system is very extensive and I still do a lot of macro/product shots that still is the forte of Nikon. I will try to borrow a film scanner and scan some of my Pentax images later. Cheers, Winston I don't know about the 70-200 but all the rest of your lenses are truly superb! Hope we get to see some of your photos in the Pentax User's Gallery (PUG for short).
