Re: K 45-125mm f/4 and K 200mm f/4 on *ist D or *ist DS

Yes, I have a page of them on PhotoNet. Sold a couple as stock as well. 
Disregarding the screw mount lenses I used many years ago, the M 2004 
has probably provided the best return of any of my lenses in terms of 
cost vs. income. That's only important in that it helps buy more toys 
:-)

I've used the M200/4 extensively. I always thought it was an incredible
bargain, since it's not very expensive and it performs very well. I
used it for a lot of my wakeboarding pics.

Nice photos.
I have the A200/4, seems yet an other optical formula as well. I
haven't done too much shooting with it yet, but it does seem an
excellent performer on the DS.

Well I have tried a M 4/200mm on *ist D. Brilliant lens.
This one was done with the SMC Pentax-M 4/200mm and *ist D:

The K and M are not identical. The K has a 5-5 configuration and 58mm
front
element, the M has a 6-5 configuration and a 52mm front element. So
my guess
is the K is optacally better (and quite rare due to only 2 years vs.
7 years
of production), but I'm only guessing, here.
