At last count, I have 3 of these :) And all of them came attached with other stuff. I am going to sell 2 of them when I have more time. > > I'd still like to try an XR RIkenon 50/1.4P, which I hear may be even > better from f/2 to f/4.

Atleast thats what i am guessing from my lenses all of which say Rikenon P and not XR Rikenon P. Does your 50/2 say XR Rikenon P ? If I didnt use my 50/1.4 P regularly, I would have lent it to you :) - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List. To unsubscribe, go to http://www.pdml.net and follow the directions.
