Obviously. The lens was tested by "Amateur Photographer" magazine and promptly became their reference lens outperforming the Carl Zeiss 50/1.4. The latter probably another Lemon lens whose reputation is based on myth only. Mike Johnston wrote an essay where the Pentax Limteds were touted as the best AF lenses money could buy. Maybe he too is easily fooled in spite of having tried almost everything out there? It may be that for some the best there is isn't good enough but for the rest of us the best there is, is the stuff that creates cults. Pål
