Originally posted by Todd Adamson Where would one acquire that lens, Steve? I have no macro lens for my Pentax system, and would love something in the 100-ish range. I used to have an F-mount Kiron 105, but looking at the prices of those things on the used market it seems out of my budget. Perhaps the Samsung is as well.
Oddly enough, the Samsung lenses cost *more*, new (for instance, the Pentax 10-17 is $429 on amazon, but the samsung is $579!!!). Maybe taking advantage of folks who don't know they can use Pentax lenses on their GX-20? *shrug*. Anyway, i have it because I worked ever-so-briefly for Samsung (Network Engineering), and got an employee discount that was... ridiculous.
They sometimes sell cheaper used, but they are hard to find.
