DFA50 macro

Very slight vignetting, aberration almost non existant, distorsion almost null, excellent perofmance from wide open, dimishes slightly at f/11, really noticeable from f/22.

They ask for an SDM version. Superb lens but mechanical quality so-so...

Rating: 5/5

FA*85/1.4

Very noticeable vignetting at f/1.4, less at f/2, never null but negligable upward. slight chromatic aberration, performance OK at f/1.4, very good at f/2 and excellent from f/2.8

Rating 5/5

FA 135/2.8

Vignetting negligable, amazingly low chromatic aberration, no distorsion at all in practice, excellent performance from wide open, diffraction dimishes performance at f/22. They like it very very much

Rating 5/5.
Please Pentax, give us DFA 135/2.8!!!

@thibs, thanks for the great post!

Today, I tried to fetch a copy at Munich main station. But the international news store was closed and occupied by a special anti terror squad because there was an abandonned piece of baggage.

The anti terror squad really didn't appreciate my argument that fetching my copy of chasseur d'images could well be worth the risk
I think Pentaxian are a group of fanatics they have not considered yet...maybe they will start to do that now
