Ive never tried the smcA 135/f1.8 lens, but I have used the smcK/f2.5 and the smcK/f2.5 is a fantastic lens, fairly fast, and only costs around $250 near mint, which is a small fraction of the cost of the F1.8 lens.

That's not quite true, they do occasionally become available but for big money, far more than the photographic value IMO. It's a lovely looking piece of glass but has attained its legendary status more due to its obscurity than its performance in my opinion. I sold mine quite a few years back and never regretted the sale, it's not so hot until stopped down a bit, lots of CA and low contrast, it does look impressive though. -- Rob Studdert HURSTVILLE AUSTRALIA Tel +61-2-9554-4110 UTC +10 -- 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. -- 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.
