you mean to say: from me.... I now use the M28/f2. Both lenses are not FREE designs. However, the K28/f2 has a floating element. This is what the "Color Foto photokina Sonderheft" (special photokina 1976 edition of German magazine Color Foto) has to tell about the then new K28/f2: "Dieses hochlichtstarke WW-Objektiv besitzt 'floating elements', d.h. im Nahbereich erfolgt eine korrigierende Linsengruppenverschiebung. Dadurch wird im Nahbereich die Abbildungsqualit�t verbessert". (This fast wide angle lens has floating elements, meaning that at close focusing a correcting lens group moves. Thus the picture quality at close focus is improved.) I very much doubt that there is a second version of the K28/f2 - the M28/f2 was introduced only four years after the K28/f2 had been introduced. My best wishes for everybody for the coming New Year, Arnold - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List. To unsubscribe, go to http://www.pdml.net and follow the directions.
