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.

Cheers,
