Apology on my PF filled close up. Now I know my Komine 135mm f/2.8 1:2 close focusing can become pretty bad on PF.

Update1:

After some LBA thinking, I have to withdraw my Pentax A 50mm f/2.8 1:2 macro from sale until I can save up for the DA 35mm f/2.8 1:1 macro limited. Out of all of my macro lens, the Pentax A 50mmm f/2.8 1:2 macro is the sharpest and I rank its bokeh next to my Pentax K 100mm f/4.0 1:2 Macro and it has the 'A' setting that I can experiment on flash in macro photography


Update2:

Some quick test shots on Tokina 20-35 f/3.5-4.5 that I share with Troyz. I will continue to test the lens until I find a buyer.

Tokina is SOLD to Troy. Much thanks!

If you have strong interest in buying my Pentax A 50 f/2.8 1:2 Macro, you can PM me as I am likely to sell later on when I save enough to buy DA 35mm limited.

Thanks,
Hin
