John said: I know, it's hard to believe a zoom especially a 25 yr old design can approach primes but it does! I am ecstatic over this lense's quality. Pentax must have went all out when they designed this one. BTW, there was a smc-K version of the same lens but it seems to be pretty rare too. JCO
John, Could you post a picture of this beast? While I was checking through "The Ultimate Asahi Pentax Screw Mount Guide", I notice that there is no picture of this one. Curiousity, I guess. Would you say the other screwmount zooms would stand up to this scrutiny? I have always assumed they would not, but your posts make me wonder if I am wrong. Dave Yahoo!
