Since you have already replaced it, it would be interesting to see a side by side test of it, and the new one.

I have very mixed feelings about my 20/1.8. The manual focus on it often, but not always feels utterly horrible. Autofocus on it is mixed, sometimes it works, sometimes not. I got it for indoor low light shooting, and it is almost totally useless for that, though it would be interesting to see how the K5-II handles focusing it in low light. However, when it is the right lens, it does wonderfully. It is also nice to have a wide macroish lens. > > kris > > -- > 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. -- Larry Colen [email protected] sent from i4est -- 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.
