I picked up the non hsm older version and I am really happy with it. The only thing is I wish it could focus closer.....almost 7 feet seems like a country mile sometimes
It is so fast at focusing that I had to get a lot of practice as if the subject was out of the focus for just a fraction of a second it would focus on the background!
Once I got the hang of it I am wondering why Pentax after all these years hasn't caught up.
Have fun with your new glass...I am looking forward to the better weather
Thanks
Randy
