I have no idea if that's a good price for that fisheye zoom. I just thought I'd respond to tell you that indeed your message came through to the list. As to whether it's best to buy the fisheye zoom or the f1.4 50mm, it seems to me that those lenses are so very different that it isn't a "one or the other" type of question. They each do far different things, so I guess you'd have to assess which is more useful for the type of photography you do and go from there. cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
