Congrats Bruce!!! I will buy DA* soon too for f2.8 - it will allow me to shot weddings in darker churches at iso400 f2.8 instead of iso800 and f4 like I have to do now with DA 16-45 ;-) After seeing samples my conclusion is that DA* 16-50 is at f2.8 about as good as DA 16-45 at f4 with even smaller CAa and that was what I exactly needed. SDM and weather sealings will be icing on the cake ;-) I didn't even bother to read all weird comments from various people on dpreview forum - I think they are in the search of holy grail among lenses... unfortunatley they'll never find it :-D Let us know what you think about your new addition Bruce :-) Cheers, Sylwek -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
