I think John Francis has that setup. I know that the A* 200/2.8 is a wonderful lens, and am curious how the DA* 200/2.8 compares optically. Meanwhile, money I'll spend on the repairs I'm doing on one of my sheds would probably pay for just about every Pentax lens on my current wish list, as well as a K-3. Or even buy me a 645D, and a nice set of lenses for it. sigh. -- Larry Colen [email protected] http://red4est.com/lrc -- 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.
