I've accumulated a good handful of lenses over the past year of owning a k-x, but I have to say that after having this D FA Macro 100/2.8 for just 6 days now... I don't think I even want to use the other ones anymore, haha. Does this happen to anyone else?

Yes, it also happens to me - my 105 Viv'ee Macro made me retire a ton of other lenses, now it seems I am addicted to the DA*50~135mm...

Excellent shots BTW...

Yes the photo has been snapped from Skansen!

Of all the Takumars, I've been reaching for the Super Takumar 105/2.8 exclusively, I think the Focal Length is extremely usable, and it's very very compact as well!

Kx + Pentax M 135/3.5 - just got this lens, I'm always pleasantly surprised how compact M lenses are, this one seems to be in super shape with good optics. I pretty much gave up on M lenses, my K-m, K10 and K20 green button metering was seldom close nor consistent, simply frustrating. However, I've found the K-x does a superb job in Manual mode using the green button, almost spot on everytime! I am very very happy with the K-x, its compact size along with diminutive Takumars and Pentax M's just go hand in hand...

If you are not currently working as a professional photojournalist, it is a loss to the public. Your images are amazing. Every one you have posted is better than any portrait I have ever taken, and all of them are on par with the excellent images we expect from publications such as National Geographic.
