The Da*55 arrived ( great service from SRS again ) and I am quite impressed by the quality, I didn`t have time to make any photo but as I said I am very happy.
just want to share my first impression.

I know that pentaxian450 but you use a K20D, the K10D hasn't got a 1 in it for nothing just kidding, we're talking about something else then the speed i'm afraid

Btw the AF is just as fast as on the FA50 I heared a couple of times or damn close to it.

Hi Stefan,
I didn`t have time to make any photo, but yes is not so fast, but for me is like my other two DA*. So if you want to campare to other like Canon or Nikon every Pentax lense is slow, but you know what I don`t care.
I will make some test tonight and let u know

I've been told that the focus is off when it locks on with the K10D, thats a main concern for me.

If you want a fast AF lens get a DA40, that's a speed demon. Maybe the fastest lens that there is for Pentax.

"Fast" means having a wide aperture. Fast-focussing is what you mean.
