Dear Dan, Pentax lenses have always been technically very advanced - at least my first SLR bought pre owned in 1975 - a Spotmatic with a Takumar proved to be.
The reason I latched on to Pentax were the grand Lenses - after owning a Pentacon, Nikon, Kiev-19, Leica, Ricoh SLRs. I was amazed at the 35 - 135 F3.5 "A" zoom lens. Sharp all the way through - remember that this is not a computer designed lens. And I picked one up in Mint condition from a Pop & Mom Store in the San Francisco Bay Area for $65 + Tax. I have attached my first attempt at Water Drop Photography using this lens which also has Macro - see attached link. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/nxcxdnwonye9dh4/AABcu5Qy0YScLwDatMp0msFha?dl=0 Thanks for looking. Bipin Photography will stop time – for eternity. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
