Re: Lens tests Pentax 20-35 & 100/2.8 Macro

[Joseph Tainter]

When I first got my starkistdee, I tested several lenses on it at about 
28-31 mm: FA 20-35, Tokina AT-X AF Pro 28-80 f2.8; FA 31; and F 17-28. 
My subjective impression was that the FA 20-35 won the day for image 
quality on this limited test.

That said, it's zoom range is ultimately too narrow for the starkistdee 
-- at least for my shooting. This is why the DA 16-45 looks like an 
important addition to Pentax's lens offerings. The fact that the DA 
16-45 is forthcoming was an important factor in my decision to buy the *dee.
