Thanks. I am really a sucker for all the K mount limiteds that make great starbursts like the DA15, 21, 77,etc, so my only wish is that there were more 645 lenses with 7 or 9 blades. I think the DFA 55 I have is the only one in my 645 rig that makes the great stars. All the others are either 6 or 8...blah.
So, I really like the 55 in IQ as well as star capabilities. At the longer end, the SMC A-120 macro is a standout for sheer sharpness, IMO, more so than this 150, but the 150 is presently the longest FL I own, so as they say, when you have a hammer, everything starts to look like a nail, haha.
The SMC A 35 is stunning and the 25 is even more marvelous, but admittedly, I have not put it to use nearly as much as I expect to. For what it costs, I thought I'd be using it more. That said, when I have shot with it, it delights.
