I no longer own "A" series lenses but A's were designed to go after the resolution. Then, Pentax went back to their tradition of more subtlety in F/FA series. But my remarks on the Nikkor (or Pentax lenses for that matter) were of course generalized. I have only two Nikkor lenses (one of them is the 60mm/Micro which is superb) and cannot tell if the Nikkors are "generally" too sharp etc. It just seems to be the accepted opinion though, based on what I read. But then, I should not have generalized that Pentax lenses might render a bit "softer" etc. "Soft" is a no-no word. It is a matter of rendition which you can only tell on the finished photos, but it is fairly apparent to me (sometimes ;-). The "plasticity" is hard to describe. Cheers, Ken
