Pretty much my experience too (not that it would be new to anyone who has known me a while), the A50/1.2 is a bit of a favourite of mine. It's not super sharp or contrasty wide open but it's nice and consistent across the frame and gets better stop by stop until f5.6-6 when it's superb, d�j� vu maybe? :-) Cheers, Rob Studdert HURSTVILLE AUSTRALIA Tel +61-2-9554-4110 UTC(GMT) +10 Hours [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://members.ozemail.com.au/~distudio/publications/ Pentax user since 1986, PDMLer since 1998
