Recently got the *ist D, have used the K1000 a tiny bit, but have mainly been a digital user, using the Kodak DC4800 for a few years. For my macro I'm currently using the above lens (saving up for the pentax FA* 200mm f/4 ED(IF) macro which by all accounts is an awesome lens, although I'm sure the earlier A* version would keep me happy (-:), or bellows and a 50mm f/2 for mucking round with flies' eyes. Also saving for a flash. >Hope to participate in PAW and maybe PUG (looking out for some insects to do portraits of (-:) >Thanks for reading, David Whoa, ugly bug, nice picture.
