2, If you want weather sealing then maybe but otherwise probably not.

The Samsung version of the 100mm DFA Pentax lens - is that the one with rounded aperture blades?

Having just acquired a DAL35, FA50, and DA55-300 (and a load of memory cards), I've now developed a blood lust for more lenses... I somehow have convinced myself that I need a macro and am debating the DFA100 macro which is on sale, or going for a slightly cheaper Tamron 90mm 1:1.

Hi, post the results in your portfolio (it's results that count surely!) and we'll all decide if we have enough in our camera bags. I made up a macro with a cheap old film era zoom lens and a £7.99 extension tube set t use manually on my KR. I'd love it if Santa brought me a real 1:1 macro though!

Ah - hrm... Found a new Samsung for £299 - 3% through quidco at Jacobs and I'm wondering if te extra £100 for the dfa is worthwhile.

And it's interest free credit too I think. I looked at the DFA on Friday in Jessops and liked it but didn't like the plastic thread for filters. Took great pictures though.
fed up waiting for a FF
