I like the 77 LTD. Outstanding lens.
I have got the 50mm, but probably the 77mm would be better for my needs

Colors are different...in better, can't do any comparison with a cheaper one at the moment...but my idea is that "the more you spend, the less you spend"

I reread everything, the concept is clearer but not completely...don't know if I an slow to learn or it is difficoult...

When do we have to apply the HF distance? There is something that I can't explain exactly but it is partially related to the placement of the subjects.
I mean, I understand if we have more subject diagonally placed and if I want most of them in focus, I have to focus keeping in mind the HFD (or the rule of 1/3).

But what if subject are roughly on the same distance or on the horizon. Where should I focus?

About DOF: I'm keeping to use no more f11 or f16 rarely, but I was reading a book by Mackie's about landscapes. He doesn't talk about DOF, but in the 99% of his photos he uses f/22 or f/32. Is there any reason?

Looks cool!
28-140mm plus 5x zoom is good, even if I would have preferred it thinner with extensible zoom (probbaly it is not compatible with the all the *proof!

How are pentax compact cameras? I have got a canon ixus

No problem! Are you planning to step from 50mm+extension tube to a real macro lens?
