Shaun, Your original email never reached me, hence no reply until now.
You just love taunting us don't you? Do you get up in the middle of the night to check how it is? Stroke it? Have a little display cabinet for it? q-:
BTW, are the photos that are on pentaxusa.com and such of it with the hood attached? e.g.

What did you end up paying in AUD all up?
I recently got to have a good play with the A* 200/4 macro and was very, very impressed. It had to be wrestled out of my hands at the end of the day. It would be interesting to see how the two stack up, but I suspect that at this level it's really a matter of splitting hairs.
Keep us updated on you and your lens's relationship.

not going near the great outdoors yet. Don't tempt fate I always believe!
Do yourself a favor - buy some insurance for the lens, and leave the filter off. No way would I impair the fabulous optics of this lens by permanently installing a cruddy filter in front of it.
