Testing lenses can be interesting, especially zoom lenses. One would quickly assume that the Pentax with its proven lens coating and reputation should come out on top.

Enjoy your weekend. (it will probably just zoom by):p

Hey Craftsmansky,

I think that the term Macro is a bit loosely applied these days. I have always used the hard fast rule of 1:1 (where the image captured on the film or sensor equals or exceed actual life size).
It would be better is they created a new term (close focus, or something to that effect). I see a lot of zoom lens with macro plastered on them that do not get anywhere close to obtaining 1:1 ratios. Your image seems sharp.
I have seen a few Kiron lenses kicking around Ebay. Where are they made?
