Hi!
I'm still sort of casually looking for a real macro lens... Just
wondering, how do you people reckon the old f/4 Pentax macros compare
to the newer FA-100 f/2.8? (Just came across one of the former class
for sale; not sure if it is the F, A or original K variant - I'm
assuming these are all based on the same optical formula.) Also, how
much of a point is AF for macro work? I mean, does the autofocus work
very well on macro range?
My answer to similar question was to buy Tamron 90/2.5 SP lens in
Adaptall 2 mount. It is fast and quite excellent optically.
Is this a 1:2 macro?
It is manual focus, but I don't find it an obstacle. Actually for
macro work manual focus lenses are probably better because of the
better damping of there focus rings - hence better focus precision.
OK. I see.
