Having owned and used the A*135/1.8 on my Pentax DSLRs I can confirm that it really wasn't anything spectacular much to my disappointment, I subsequently sold it the only regret I have is that I didn't wait to cash in on the current ridiculous prices. > I now have a Carl Zeiss T* 85/1.4, which is also a superb lens.

The Carl Zeiss T* 85/1.4 is a very nice lens but the A*85/1.4 trumps it performance wise, I owned and shot the two concurrently however my observations were based on film performance. -- Rob Studdert HURSTVILLE AUSTRALIA Tel +61-2-9554-4110 UTC(GMT) +10 Hours [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://picasaweb.google.com/distudio/PESO http://home.swiftdsl.com.au/~distudio//publications/ Pentax user since 1986, PDMLer since 1998 -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
