What kind of magnification are you looking for? If you want 1:1 the Sigma 90 and Pentax A 100/4 only go to 1:2. For 1:1, the Pentax A 100/2.8, kiron 100/2.5 and Vivitar Series 1 105/2.5 would be good choices. I had the Vivitar Series 1 105/2.5 with the "A" setting. It is one of the sharpest lenses I've ever used. -- Christian http://photography.skofteland.net -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
