Don't mind ogl, he doesn't actually use the lenses he berates. Only plays around with Raw or Jpeg files snapped by others.

I am not a fan of the plastic Tamrons, but as a fellow SP Macro owner, I approve these pics

Ogl, please change your avatar back to Ringo with the Pentax. Please. Or do you want me to start a poll who else is in regarding this petition?

Good examples. I see. It's strange that you don't see how this lens work with colours and backgorund.
Any Tamron gives not clear colours. Have a look at green colour.
It's not Pentax lenses.

Try describing a color without using a color, either a "name" like "green" or referencing another.

Very subjective.

Myself and many other's could care less about new lenses from Pentax. They should be using all that money to develope a better Auto Focus system.
I hope whoever buys the Pentax camera devision really cares about there Camera's and the Users.

By "better" do you mean faster? As I understand the situation, Pentax's AF is more accurate than most ...but not as fast. Personally, I prefer accurate over fast as I am not into action photography and the odd action photos I have shot presented no problem.

This isn't a review!? It's just a spec / press sheet isn't it? I want to see some photos from this lens and what it looks like on a k-7.
