Accidentally stumbled on this review of the DA* 55, published yesterday ...
http://www.dxomark.com/index.php/Publications/DxOMark-Reviews/Pentax-smc-DA-Star-55mm-f-1.4-SDM It's also compared to other 50mm/f:1.4's including Canon, Nikon and Pentax's FA 50. Fares well, chromatic aberration score beats everything else, but they don't like the price or resolution map wide open. Despite all that, it still gets kick-ass shots for me, and it's still my fave lens. :-) -- -bmw -- 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.
