Thanks guys!
Thought if 18-55 WR is newer model than 18-55 AL II, it maybe has some greater capabilities except Weather Resistanse

Hi folks!
Could you please help me to get clear with a small question before upgrading from k20 to k-5.
So the dilemma is to buy only body or also a kit lens 18-55 WR. All is clear about taking pictures, but how about video - I was told by a seller that only WR lenses alow k-5 to use AF during filming, while other lenses needs to be focused manualy? Is it a serious argument or manual focusing while filming is completely ok ?
Is there anything else that could do WR lens but couldn't others (for example Tam 17-50 which i have in mind as everyday lens)?

is there a big difference in contrast, sharpness, clarity etc between these macro lenses and Tamron 28-75mm f2.8?
Macro is not my priority, but the image quality

At the moment i have the 18-55 kit and SMC P M 50mm/1.4. now looking for something more tele, so the lens is meant to be used as portret-tele-macro, so AF ir preferred but is it worth 200$ (Vivatar against others), something to think about.
It seems that the focal length of 100mm is quite popular as there are made so many good lenses at this

thx for your answers, it seems that the Vivitar series 1 105/2.5 Macro has joined the list, good price but no AF :/ Voigt and Zeiss are bit to expensive, Sigma 70/2.8 EX DG Macro also is not quite in the budget.

Hi folks! this is my first post here, hope you could help me get things more clear.
I am a bit confused in choosing the best mid-tele macro lens, curious is there any significant difference between these macro lenses in terms of the image quality?
SMC Pentax-FA 100mm F2.8 Macro
smc PENTAX-D FA 100mm F2.8 Macro
SMC Pentax-FA 100mm F3.5 Macro
SMC Pentax-F 100mm F2.8 Macro
Sigma 105mm F2.8 EX DG Macro
Tamron SP AF 90mm 2.8 DI MACRO
What about FA 100mm f3.5, is it only half stop slower and with lower magnification ratio than 2.8 version or it's worse in some other positions (IQ)?
What about Pentax DA 70mm f/2.4 Limited, is it much better in terms of the image quality than these macro lenses?
Thanks in advance.
