There is a wonderful test of this lens in the April Popular Photography. The results are very good. Very, very good. Pentax has designed another great lens. It is sharp across the board, even sharp wide open at all focal lengths. You can't ask for more.
I guess the DA* 50-135 F2.8 will have to be on my list too. That, the DA* 16-50 F2.8, and Photoshop CS3. It is going to be another expensive year. Perhaps by this time next year my LBA spending can go down. No...not likely. That's when Pentax will bring out the DA* 400. And after that there will be the DA 24 F2. Maybe. Incidentally, the same issue of Pop has a nice article about a guy who makes dramatic smoke photos with a K10D.
