I just got on yesterday! This is a nice, but BIG lens.
Has a wonder tripod bracket, which may get in your way for mostly manual
focus use.
I haven't shot anything yet, but it looks nice.
It feels very solid, and comes with nice hood and fancy carry case.
If you don't have autofocus body yet, wait until you do, prices may drop or
maybe Pentax will have ANtiVibration stuff by then!
$799 at B&H if I remember right?
