Congratulations Malcom, You now have an excellent lens in the 16-85 WR, that Ricoh-Pentax could have labelled "STAR".
I am glad that I had pointed you out to this lens as your first choice. Suggest you check it out thoroughly as some manufacturing defects have been discovered. The latest one is a shift in the image downwards after focusing. In the viewfinder you will notice the frame drops down a bit after the lens has focused. Enjoy your new baby. Regards. Bipin. -- 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.
