Sorry, Cotty .I'll never sell mine. It's brilliant lens for panoramas an ordenary wide angle shots. An excellent lens, although prone to the slow aperure syndrom. Mine must be exersized intensively prior to use. This was done a F 2.8: http://flickr.com/photos/bladt/2695269/ Regards Jens Bladt

Pentax A-series lenses sell out fast everywhere in the past year. For Cotty's purposes, an M or K series lens of similar quality would do the same thing, of course, since he's going to remove the little bugger's pecker. ];-) G On Oct 11, 2007, at 11:00 AM, P. J. Alling wrote: I'm going to

Yeah, I know. But I like the compactness. I almost never use a lens of this focal length at apertures much greater than f/4 anyway. I saw one of the M20/4 lenses go on Ebay for $220 just recently. I was sorely tempted but went for a Nikkor 20/3.5AI from KEH.com instead (for the L1...). I
