The M100/f2.8 is a dream of a lens and one of my favourites. There are quite a few images on my Flickr account taken with it including this one:

I got it at John's recommendation and have never regretted it. The K135/2.5 is lovely too but much bigger and heavier and as a result I often take the 100mm in preference.

Nice shot but as Tim said, try going square.

You blokes are obviously looking at a different moon to me. Here in Australia, the moon is HUGE!! Last night I set my camera and 50mm lens on the tripod, then raced inside to answer the phone. When I returned, this was the result.Regards
Great stuff...

...should I say 128mm?...
No you shouldn't, it is a 85mm lens.

All of the Pentax 85mm lenses are very good. If you really want thin depth of field then the A*85/1.4 or the FA*85/1.4 would be excellent but very expensive. Even the M42 85mm lenses are pretty pricey. The Samyang will easily be the cheapest option. I guess a thin extension tube would improve its close focusing ability.

I love my ES but the lack of metering on manual is sometimes annoying. I'd recommend the SPII as a more workable all-round camera.

My flash didn't come with the case or a mains adaptor... but it does work.

Silver ES/ESIIs are quite rare which is why I took the chance that I can get it repaired.

Best wishes, Kris.
