Had to PS the granny out of this to get the best from it. I'm going to agree with MikeSF regards this lens. Having used it some more, conclusion is that it's not that epic, especially considering the even more epic price. Save your money and go with the Samyang 2.8/14.

No idea pal, but what he says resonates with my experience of using newly designed lenses, a Distagon being one of them.

Lenses designed for digital and optimized for pixel peeping sharpness using newly designed coatings and lots of elements is what I think Yannick is getting at when he says "modern".

The future.
Make an epic APS-C, an epic full frame and an epic 645.
. . . three models only and nothing else. Just high end yet price beating.

They were quite easy, but the amount of crop has a. reduced the resolution some what and b. got me thinking about taking advantage of this holidays' £300 discount on a D-FA 150-450 at SRS Microsystems. No Fear V | Mike Parry | Flickr |

Recently I watched a recycling division of a large paper company spend £500k on a site only to close it weeks later.

Couple of hours ago a good fellow saw me struggling along at Heathrow departures with a K-1 and DFA* 70-200.
Asked what it was and it so turns out he's a fellow Pentaxian and a member of this very forum.

I'm packing right now for a long haul back home to the Far East for six months. It's a nightmare with the K-1 and 15-30, DFA* 70-200 and even the small primes (50/1.2, 31, 43, 77, 100 WR etc.), a heavy laptop, couple of flashes.
30 kilo max baggage and I'm still at 34 kilos. Can't take my Induro tripod, can't take any of the Cactus strobist gear. Can't imagine hauling any more hefty lenses.
I agree. Slightly slower is much smaller and lighter. More likely to get used.

It is admittedly, a frustration.
A while after I'd got into big cameras and deeply committed to Pentax I realised action photography was my thing.
I did pick up an A6000 on the cheap along with an 4/70-200 G OSS and had the thing permanently in machine gun mode. It's epic! But Sony prices for the quality gear are well beyond my reach now.
I had hoped the K-1 would match up on tracking AF with the D-FA* 70-200. It ain't bad, it just ain't no Tommy gun. Buffer clearance is a bigger let down than the AF-C.
Still the best value for money mind.
