for pointing out the bad link to the MJ/LL 50mm screwmount article! :- )

I hope that fixes it!

is missing the SQF data on several of the older tests... I'm trying to contact their staff on the pop forums... waiting to get some type of technical approval to post to their forum.

Hope a few of the gang out there find these listings and links of interest.

Fun fact! The above two articles are 97% responsible for my initial choice of Pentax above other brands.

And I don't regret it — the DA 40mm has basically stayed glued to every camera body I've gotten since, only coming off to make room for an occasional DA 70mm shot or a dalliance with the Lensbaby.

A great thing that. THe 40 is a very fine lens. I also appreciate the FA 43 very much too.

thanks for mentioning this!

Includes direct link to B&H for new units, in case you don't have the energy to track down a used one, and are feeling a bit extravagent :ugh:
