I think he had a bad sample. Note the focusing issues he ahd with it (showing 2.5m while focused on a 1m subject). Interestingly enough, I own the Sigma 24 that beats out the Pentax unit in that test, albeit in F mount form. It's a very good lens. -Adam -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
