Thanks for you input. The extra reach of the Tamron would have been nice to have, but I decided to stick with Pentax. Also, I believe the Tamron takes 72mm filters, and I already haver several 67 mm filters that I use with other lenses. The notion of having to pick up a couple of 72mm filters struck me as undesirable. Those things aren't cheap, especially a circ. polarizer. So I went to B&H Photo and bought the Pentax today. Will give it a tryout this weekend. An aside -- had an MZ-S in my hands for the first time while waiting for another item to come from the warehouse. Did not play with controls and the like, so cannot comment on that or its features. But it sure is a cute little thing. :) Bob - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
