And if you don't want it let me know

Given the last two cameras have been the K-x and the K-m surely the next one is going to be the K-2?

I know that this isn't what you are asking, but it might be of interest. The Vivitar 28mm f/2.8 "close focus" lens made by Komine (serial numbers start with 28xxxx) is very good. If you search the fora you'll find some of Malo's pictures taken with it. My only gripe is that the K20D under-exposes by about two stops with it, but once you know that it is easy enough to correct it. If you are not happy with the A series version that is one alternative.

As to the M 28mm/f3.5, it doesn't appear to be very common. I do not have any in my rapidly-going-out-of-date database although Bojidar has it down as "Used, several times a year". Equally uncommon (and pricey) is the f/2 version.

If you get it, let me know how it performs!

I can make it so sign me up. K.

Yup. Yuck.

Only with older pre-A lenses. For example, the Vivitar 28mm close focus lens I have under-exposes by almost 2 stops. I am using older (i.e., SMC Takumar and K series) lenses more and more and therefore notice this problem. Thankfully, I rarely shoot anything that moves and use of the histogram function makes it easy to adjust on the fly.

Well I just use Av and manual, just like my ES, or my ME Super, or my LX...

The results of a study some time back showed that 95% of people using Word used less than 5% of the features.

Went for R1,587.00 in the end, or about £131.

That makes more sense, if less fun. Thanks, K.

Back to the OP, providing the image size (x pixels by y pixels) remains the same, forget the ppi, dpi etc. and go ahead and process your files.
