Larry, the behavior you listed is OK, as any lens without QuickShit
(all third party lenses).
My 28/1.8 focusses without problem in MF however although the weight
of the glass means you really have to turn it, not push it gently.
That being said it does turn without problem, rattling or whatever.
I am thinking that it is close to impossible to make a faster lens
without more glass...

You need to set both the camera and the lens to MF, as if you don't you
will end damaging the in-camera AF motor. If you only use the lens
clutch, it isn't like on Pentax FA* lenses, on which you only need to
push backwards the focusing ring to disengage AF.

If it's like the Sigma 30/1.4 there's no clutch on the lens. When the
camera is in auto-focus mode the motor stays engaged. Switching the
camera to manual focus retracts the motor drive pin on the camera.
The manual focus ring follows auto-focus like the manual focus ring on

If it is AF and will cost you $150, it's a steal.
I'm hopeful. His photo of all the gear laid out shows a lens which does NOT
look like the older MF f2.5 lens.
It's just cosa nostra...

Gone in 23 minutes. Must be true.
And here I am wondering what happened to the f/2.8 zooms Pentax used
to make :(

The BW of the young lady sitting there with her hair in a towel (fake scan
- took a digital snap of a print) has a Diane Arbus sort of feel to it.
Okay, so it has a Diane Arbus shooting Audrey Hepburn feel to it.

With all the rumblings about the new D-FA 100 WR not being a lens anyone
wanted, I've been wondering:
What is your dream lens that does not yet exist in the current Pentax

I'd like those SDM teleconverters that disappeared

Absolutely spot on John!
I'm using the AF1.7X adapter now and it doesn't make sense on the FA/DA glass.
Get that high quality teleconverter back on the roadmap!
Otherwise, how about a DA 19mm f2.0... a digital replacement for the A28mm f2.0.

Senior discount?
Hadn't even thought to ask.
I used to be offended when it was offered, (after my hair and beard
turned white), but now I just smile and take the discount. Though it's
only worthwhile on small coffee since McD started it's $1.00 any

My issue isn't so much what's there or not, it's the prices they're
selling for. Except for something akin to the old FA* 600/4, they've
pretty much got everything I want in

Lets say something in the 28-30mm range with a maximum aperture of
f/1.4-1.6.
I have a Sigma 30mm f/1.4. As you open it up the DOF shrinks at an
alarming rate, so it really requires a lot of
