I was fortunate enough to be able to find some of the "toughies" you mentioned (A* 135/1.8, A* 85/1.4, K 85/1.8) before they (recently) got a ~lot~ tougher to get hold of (and before the prices went through the roof). A couple of other Pentax lenses that took me a while to track down were the K 28/2 (whew!) and the A 100/2.8 Macro. One 3rd-party "cult lens" that took a while was the Vivitar Series 1 450/4.5 Aspheric Mirror (with 2X Macro Matched Multiplier). However, some of the other 3rd-party "cult lenses" turned out to be not too difficult at all - e.g., the VS1 90/2.5 Macro (with 1:1 Macro Adapter), the optically identical Tokina AT-X 90/2.5 Macro (with 1:1 Macro Extender), the VS1 90-180/4.5 Flat Field Zoom, and the VS1 600/8 and 800/11 Perkin-Elmer Solid Cats. But one critter I'm still in the hunt for is the Pentax K 35/2... Fred - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List. To unsubscribe, go to http://www.pdml.net and follow the directions.
