They vary per sample, at the 16mm setting the filter ring can be displaced laterally about 2mm, talk about de-centring. I'm hardly surprised that it records detail well between f5.6 and f11, most lenses perform their best around these apertures. I'll do a wide open test at 24mm against my lowly 20+ year old designed A24/2.8 tomorrow, hopefully my perspective will remain unclouded through the fog of my discontent. -- Rob Studdert HURSTVILLE AUSTRALIA Tel +61-2-9554-4110 UTC(GMT) +10 Hours [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://home.swiftdsl.com.au/~distudio//publications/ Pentax user since 1986, PDMLer since 1998 -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
