Just had to tell someone how excited I am about new maro lens

I love my wife, as she hasn't complained about me purchasing some new lenses, but she doesn't give a rats behind when I get a new lens, so I just wanted to tell some people how excited I am to get the Pentax-D FA 100mm F2.8 Macro WR. Last week Amazon Canada had one in their warehouse department for $398.20. The kicker was their warehouse had an additional 20% off so I got it for an incredible 318.56. With tax it was 359.97. The cheapest I've seen this is 549 at any point.

There was absolutely nothing wrong with the lens. The box it came in was dented a little as described.

I'm so excited to try this bad boy out.

Happy New Year everyone!

The 100mm macro is a great lens. Happy hunting with it!

Nice lens. By rights it should be a Limited.

I have a very similar earlier version that I like, the SMC Pentax-DFA 100mm F2.8 Macro obtained via the forum's market place

you will enjoy your experiences for sure

It's 43 C here in Melbourne today, if you want to swap.

I'm not out shooting either.
