> Best value in used pentax glass?
Well, how about this: the tiny lens in the new Optio S is (I believe) the first Pentax point-and-shoot lens that has ALL lens surfaces Super-Multi-Coated. (In case some don't realize, lens manufacturers often judiciously leave some surfaces uncoated or single-coated if they feel they can cut the corners. Generally, only premium lenses (and sometimes not even those!) have ALL surfaces multi-coated.) Considering that the whole camera costs what I've paid just for lenses in the past, I could nominate the lens in the Optio S. That's sight-unseen, of course. ======== As far as the best value from my own experience, it's definitely the 50mm f/1.4 Super-Multi-Coated Takumar M42 screwmount lens, the world's only thousand-dollar lens you can buy for sixty bucks. I do love that lens. --Mike
