I believe I've seen some positive user reports over at pentaxforums.com -- MaritimTim 2009/2/24 Larry Colen l...@red4est.com: I've seen them sold under a couple of different brand names, seem to go for $270-400 brand new. It seems to be manual focus/auto exposure (A-lens). Is this a cheap dog? A decent value for the money? Or a knockout sleeper deal? -- Photographs are like sentences, the best ones have both subjects and verbs.

A decent value for the money? Or a knockout sleeper deal? I bought one recently. I know I said I wasn't going to, but the seller offered a pretty good deal along with the Samsung 800mm mirror (just before the price jumped because of our crap exchange rate). Build quality no way compares with the FA*85, but it is quite a pleasant lens to use. Reasonably well damped manual focus (you can feel some tight spots in the helical, but at least nothing is loose). The gold boilerplate is just a sticker and the lens hood, while functional, is nothing on the FA massive hood. And, yes, despite the Nikon-looking photo in the ebay shot, it does have an A setting, http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItemssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:ITitem=360119128836 Haven't got too many PESO-showable shots yet, but I'll see if I can put some up (maybe even some direct comparisons with the FA). Quite nice optically, including the bokeh. Rather flare prone, but that can have some nice effects for portrature too. Not a knockout deal. But for about a quarter of the price of the FA*, I'd say it was worthwhile if you are in the market. -- der...@iinet.net.au http://members.iinet.net.au/~derbyc -- 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.

Pentax Forums has the usual mix of nimrods who would rather take a day to get instructions spoon fed to them than RTFM, measurbators, some pretty talented photographers and a troll (me). If you hang around there long enough, you can figure out who's reports are reliable and whose reports are of the it's shiny and I love it variety.
