Question - I just bought this lens, the Pentax 28-105mm FA powerzoom f4-f5.6 (from ebay, for like au$150!!!). It is in PERFECT condition and I am very happy with my purchase. Course I don't use the powerzoom crap, but the lens itself is great.
I also got a very pleasant surprise, when I discovered that at the 105mm end, it is extremely close focusing. Almost to the point of being macro? Boz's site and the lens itself, say that it goes to .43mm focussing distance, but I am getting into even closer ranges with the lens spinning around to show a little flower symbol (if this makes any sense), that I have always taken to indicate a macro function? I know this might all sound very rudimentary to you guys and gals, but until now I have only ever had a collection of manual focus Pentax lenses and all of my AF stuff has been third party. As this lens was purchased second-hand, I don't have a manual to go by. Does anyone else have this lens and could they shed some light on this for me? I have found so far that it is extremely sharp and I really love it. Does anyone know of any problems etc that I should be aware of when shooting with it? Many thanks, tan.
