Geez, was that a year ago?! Was it the parrot shots when we swapped, I couldn`t remember. The weird thing is that my parrot shots look muted color wise, it doesn`t make sense, because I know that the Vivitar is not the best for color, maybe I took some parrot shots with the Vivitar before grabbing your 85mm.

[small snip] No doubt about that one, except maybe my SMCK 50/1.2 regarding color, it`s pretty snappy. That`s what I want are lenses that are chromatically and spherically perfect with SMC ;) Steve Larson Redondo Beach, California - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
