I prefer to use MF for macro work and so was reluctant to get the FA Pentax one. In any case it would have been the same price. I haven't seen the results of the new Zeiss 100 macro in Pentax because it hasn't been released. However, those who have it in Nikon mount sayit is impossible to see the difference between the CV one and the Zeiss which would put it well ahead of the Pentax lenses.

It has a clutch than can be applied to give extra drag when focussing manually. So manual focussing is pretty easy.
If other lenses are "well ahead" of this one, they must be very good indeed.

PS: In case anybody asks, it's part of my non-core kit.

Oh, all right then...
People expect baby birds to look all 'young' and speckly, like Robins and Blackbirds. Whereas pigeons (Wood Pigeons specifically), once they leave the nest, just look like adult birds, other than not having the white patch around the back of their necks, and they'll get that by the end of the summer when the moult.
So every year, people see 'baby' pigeons, they just don't realise it.
Once you notice them, you'll see that baby pigeons are even more dopey than the adults.

Also, most birds have to be pretty well fully-grown before they can fly. The baby birds one sees most often are ducklings, because they can get around without flying.
Did you see the recent telly programme showing ducklings leaping from their nests 60 feet above the water at the Barbican, then plummeting like stones into the water? Fascinating.

P.S. I'm so tempted to answer the pigeon one, but I shan't.

If you need to ask ANYTHING, no matter how simple then someone here will have the answer, that is anything related to photography of course, dont ask us the meaning of life or why you never see baby pigeons etc

But how strange that our posts are actually very similar George. Are we one and the same person? Twins seperated at birth perhaps...

For those who like standard lenses, this is an excellent choice on a DSLR, being of high quality, and much smaller than the 31 Ltd.
I'm sure you'll love it.
