I'd say so, Steve - <g>. The lens designers really should not be faulted for this, though, since the lens design predated the LX by a few years. (I'm pretty sure that it was not a problem on K-era Pentax bodies - it's certainly not a problem on my M and A bodies.) Still, I can't figure out why the baffle was made so long to start with specifically on the K-mount 35-85/2.8's... (???) Fred - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
