Yeah, I actually didn't even notice the hood until almost time to return it! It's a sweet lens and if I wanted primes would probably be the first lens I got. But I really did mostly want it for macro and while using it was mostly switching to it when the 16-50 wasn't getting me close enough, which necessitated moving way closer to the subject. So for my Alaska cruise I'm switching to the 100mm macro (which incidentally also gives mild telephoto when using the 16-50 as my primary lens). -- Hugs and backrubs -- I break Rule 6 http://rule6.info/ <*> <*> <*> Help a hearing-impaired person: http://rule6.info/hearing.html -- 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.
