this may be little helpfull. prices are in $ ....so for EU just replace $ with EUR and leave the value - as all photo items in us are way more cheaper than in europe.
but somebody paying 780£ for it - that must be some lens-collector-madman

you're welcomed Geordie

Okay I'll add mine current lens lineup:
smc K20/4 ....mostly for landscapes, ocassionally street photos, my widest
smc DA70/2.4 ...streets & portraits
these two lenses are essential for me at the moment,
but since I felt the ggap is too big I bought smc FA43/1.9 to get walkaround lens with normal perspective and K35/3.5 just of curiosity since I'm deeply in love with K-series lenses. I used to have Gwyn's DA50-135....excellent universal telephoto zoom, but I found it too big for my taste, so I settled down for 3 primes basically 20mm, 43mm and 70mm
and that is moreless it.

Algi, I'm not sure what 'normal' filter is the guy refering to, but presumably a UV filter. Using UV filter can in some cases increase contrast of far objects as it reduces the effect of atmospherical haze. But in short distance filter really degrades image quality a bit, although in case of high quality filters I wouldn't be able to spot the difference without overserious pixel-peeping.

bump....15£. Bargain...

Hi....thanks for the link but I'm after K-lens since it is more convenient and features SMC coating. Thanks anyway...
