No, I didn't get anything wrong. And I'm not "attacking" or insulting you. Nothing but praise for the DA14? Surely you are joking. I certainly recall at least a dozen times you've posted your disappointment with that lens here, saying that you found the DA16-45 a better performer, and then said how you didn't like the rendering of the DA16-45 as well. Perhaps I left out the smiley, but the way you express your "praise" for something is always with a negative ... as in your original post in this thread where you exclaimed your excitement over this lens. I am looking forward to reading your review. Godfrey -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
