Well I made my mind up, finally..... I just pulled the trigger on the SMC DFA 100mm f2.8 Macro

Thanks for all the advice

Hi Tel, welcome to the forum...
Congratulations on the GX-10

If weather and dusty resistance is important to you have a look at the Pentax DA* range. The 16-50 is a nice wide angle zoom

Hi Rees,
yes I had thought of the 35mm Limited originally, but the more I think about it, around 100mm makes more sense for me.

So I'm now looking a lens that will not get too close to the subject at 1:1.
I'm sure the DA 2.8 35mm Macro Limited is a lovely lens and I might well get one at some point

I think it's designed to wind people up....doesn't matter what you answer you get a random result

Thanks hefty & Don... a difficult one this as there are features I like about both.
Decisions decisions....

Tehe ...Olympus....

the irony is that I just migrated from Olympus to Pentax.

Still I'm happy with that as it ties in quite nicely with my two favourite camera manufacturers

I'm also in the same dilemma between the smc DFA 100mm f2.8 Macro and the Sigma 105.

I just wondered if any of the Pentax DFA 100mm f2.8 Macro users could comment on the general build quality of this lens (for example is it similar quality to the FA50 f/1.4?) and also the lack of a focus limiter.

Thanks, very much appreciated

Welcome to forum Neil, really sorry to hear about your K20D. I hope you get all sorted out.
I guess there is a lesson there for everybody
