I've noticed that this lens isn't listed on Stan's Pentax page. He's got
the earlier SMC 50/4.0 Macro, the FA 50/2.8 Macro and the A 50/2.8 Macro
(which appears in the comments section but isn't listed in the navigation
column).
Perhaps I'll have to "borrow" this lens from my S.O. after she's had a chance
to use it for a bit. Just for testing purposes, you understand ;-)
