The manual focus 45/2.8 is the lens I have and it's probably my favorite (though I only have the 45, 75 and 200mm lenses). I'm not much of a lens tester, so I can't give you a detailed report - I just love using this lens and the results I get from it. My "award winning" Welsh church door photo was shot with this lens: http://www.robertstech.com/temp/7D501705.jpg -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
