Seems like I want something in the 70-90mm range, that is no slower
than about f/4. Doesn't have to be autofocus, or even an "A" lens as
I tend to use them wide open in these situations anyways. Is there
something reasonably-priced out there that would fill this void? I
just don't have a clue.
From pentax there are several 85mm lenses, the M85/2 is supposed to cost
about €150,-. I'm not sure if you'd call that reasonable... If you're
willing to buy third party lenses: I can heartily recommend the Tamron
SP90 1:2,5 macro. I paid €110,- for mine in mint condition, including a KA
mount adaptall adapter and a matching extension tube. Most other 90mm
third party macro lenses (vivitar, sigma, tokina) get rave reviews as
well...
Hope this helps,
