Have you remembered to compensate for the focus point of IR light? Unfortunately this will also vary with lens and with the focal length set on some zoom lenses as none of them are corrected for IR light.
However, perhaps if you use a prime lens you could set things up quite accurately?

I think we should just concentrate on the lenses and avoid the speculation about whether or not I or anybody else can afford them.

Cost may eliminate the Limited range, if not then go for them.
The standard range is around the Nikon price level, so maybe a good choice.
The low cost range has one outstanding lens as the choice. You could try this at low risk of major loss, trading up later if you need to.

To be honest, I found your response to bretbysteve to be quite patronising.

However, what I don't quite get is why bother to say you're not interested, you must be on some level otherwise you wouldn't have joined in the thread. I tend not to post in threads I'm not interested in.

I used one recently for a fashion show and it was brilliant. Sharp, free from flare and snapping quickly into focus. For £135 or so you can't really go wrong with this one.

When I think about it, Pentax have quite a few lenses hovering around the 35mm mark.
