No, I haven't, but I'll pass along a thoroughly useless comment. In voting on Pentax Gallery offerings, I've seen a few identified as having been shot with that lens. I, obviously, don't know how artful the shooter might have been with PS or the paths the image may have taken getting to the web, but they appeared to be well rendered and displayed more than just 'decent' detail..at those settings. How's that for a meaningless answer? ;)
