Hi everybody, As usual, the money I gain is ready to leave my pocket faster than it comes in... I was on my way to receive a payment for some shots I made few weeks ago when I decided to stop at one of my favorite shops (I bought there half of my equipment, almost all the used stuff). As soon as I came in I saw this newly arrived toy on the shelf. When I've been told that it was in KA mount I asked to have a look at it. It feels very solid, all metal, the classic tank; it goes to 1:1 too. I was looking for something macro around that focal lenght and couldn't resist... I asked the shop owner to keep it for me until I can have more hints about it (I'm going to shot a test roll with it tomorrow morning). The price seems a bit high, 230 US$, but the lens is brand new in the box...
Anybody has it? Is it a good performer? I have an old issue of a magazine that compares 14 macro lenses around 100mm, and this one is stated to be a great performer (it came fourth after the Leica Makro Elmarit, the Zeiss Makro Planar and the Nikon. The Pentax FA was the worst performer, though... I don't know if I have to trust this test...). Thanks in advance, Gianfranco Find the one for you at Yahoo!
