Yes, the power zoom FA28-105 is a great quality lens. I almost gave up shooting with the PZ-1 and FA29-80 power zoom, it was so bad. I reverted to the Super Program instead of the PZ-1. Years later, I got my hands on the 28-105 and it was as good as the other was bad. Not well recognized, but an

Dear Ann, As you probably know, that SMC K 30mm is QUITE a find. Apparently one of the sharpest lenses Pentax ever produced. Makes all your 28mm and 35mm lenses quite expendable. I dream of days like you just had. : ) Darren Addy Kearney, Nebraska -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net

Wow! Congratulations. The 28-105 i by all accounts an excellent lens -- a good walkaround focal length --and I believe the 39.2.8 is both somewhat rare and desirable. If that 50/1.4 is truly an FA it should autofocus with your D. Maybe you just need to smack at around a bit and let it know
