Frank,

How has the purple fringing been behaving? Any chance you could compare PFing when used on a K10D and K-7?

Oh, and I hate you too

Well, I only had the lens for several days, actually only used it on the day I got it. So far I'm very happy with it. PF has never been a problem to me, even when I'm using lenses like FA77 or DA1017, so I'm not worried about that with this new (but used) lens

My wife hates me too, when I got a new toy which she can't play

It's a great lens, enjoy (I've one too).

LeDave · 07-30-2009, 12:54 AM

Wow I love the quality of the pictures, and the ladies are cute! =P

I think the first one's a dude. I'm with you on the brunette though!

Love the shots! Nice lens--and I think we all secretly know you deserve it!

I'm with you, Buddha.
Just a little bit more

Peter Zack · 07-30-2009, 03:12 PM

Yeah but I was kidding and am very thankful Frank is "part of the family". I've gotten some good deals from him on hard to find items.

Now if I could just win the lotto and have him get me a 600mm..............

Buddha Jones · 07-30-2009, 03:29 PM

I was just playing Frank, we don't hate you, we just envy the hell out of you.

Thanks. Happened to see these two models after I bought the lens and walked around in a shopping mall. They were doing some cosmetics promotion. Here is another one (focusing slightly off) :

Well, I was just a bit luckier I guess.

Actually I should thank my friends. I've got some good lenses with their great help. This time it's a friend who spotted the lens in a local store, and he informed me right away. He knew I wasn't gonna miss it

Are you listening Pentax.
A re-release of this lens or similar would be a hit.
I'd like the minimum focus shortened a bit though.

now that old barrel is sharp.

envy eyes!

walay · 08-06-2009, 03:44 PM

Frank, Can you tell me how much you paid for yours? I'm thinking about selling mine.

Well, if you are willing to sell at the price I paid for, I don't mind buying another one

Still remember I was the first in line for your A*135/1.8, but you never got back to me for a confirmed deal
