I have one - purely for its historic value which, I think, is its only value. It auto-focuses on my ME-F but I could manual focus quicker. Aperture-wise, it's fast but it's a bugger to use. It's heavy and it completely unbalances the feel of the ME-F. Not tempted to use it on digital. (BTW - it's 35-70 not 35-90) Cheers Brian ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Brian Walters Western Sydney Australia http://lyons-ryan.org/southernlight/ -- -- http://www.fastmail.fm - Access all of your messages and folders wherever you are -- 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.
