If you mean the M40/2.8, I would agree with you. I didn't see what so special about that lens other than it's compact size (a minus to me actually because it was too small to operate comfortably). I think some people just tried to make something out of nothing. regards, Alan Chan _________________________________________________________________ MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: http://photos.msn.com/support/worldwide.aspx - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
