Fantastic work and a nice, fast easy to navigate site.

I too would like a little more information - especially on which shots were digital/film.

I hope your book has done well also.

Mr Cad in the UK had a half-price deal on Pentax lenses 2 weeks ago. Typically, I missed it. They will still do the deals if you ask. I picked up a 50mm 2.8A macro.

This lens is listed in the used section for £199. Is this just a typo, or is this a special lens?

I've recently aquired one of these for use on a DS, with the object of using it for flower photography and occasional architectural detail closeups, where a max 1:2 magnification should be sufficient. I'd be interested in hearing about experience with the lens. I'll be comparing it to a standard Pentax-A 50mm f1.4 used on a Teleplus 2x macroconverter (I believe eguivalent to a 100mm f2.8 with a max 1:1 magnification or 150mm on the DS taking into account the crop factor), which I thought might make a useful travel combination.

Thanks

How did the lens comparison go? I recently picked up a 50mm/f2.8A macro and would be interested in any comments.

Thanks

Mr Cad advertised a 35/2.8A recently for £55. Sadly I was too late.

It's a no win situation. APS lenses obsolete, old film lenses now work like they should!

We can all hope for a full size sensor - as ever, it's a question of public demand and economics

I agree. The future is digital.

Apologies if this has been posted elsewhere. It looks as though Pentax have culled a huge number of lenses, including some high end, well regarded ones, probably clearing the decks for digital only offerings.
