I've never used the K500/4.5, but I have a K400/5.6 in the other room. Actually, it's for sale. I like the lens and get good quality photos out of it. But I have to say, honestly, that the photos from the Sigma APO 400/5.6 Macro are better. It's like 20 years newer, though, with all the advances in materials and lens design that go with those 20 years. But the K400/5.6 produces better photos for me than the Tokina SD 400/5.6 that I had. -- Thanks, DougF (KG4LMZ) -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
