Alek, You might check photodo again, unfortunately the A100/2.8 macro is not MTF tested however the F100/2.8 macro is. Whilst they both manage to achieve the same aggregate score of "4.3" you will find that the Tamron lens is significantly softer at the edges than the Pentax lens either wide open or stopped down and it has almost 1% distortion whereas the distortion of the Pentax lens is so small as to not be measurable. After studying the MTF diagrams I'd say that their aggregate score is misleading.
