Hi John, 1. Nice Shot...
2. Would you pixel peep a couple of high contrast images for me and check out the CA artefacts etc... ?? Thanks in advance. 3. You mention its is a great action lens... In what ways ? 4. How is the focusing speed on the K10D ? Basically I may have the opprtunity to buy one of these (estate sale). And if the asking price is reasonable I'll buy it but since the K10 is my main camera now I want to make sure that it is a good investment. The other alternative is the upcoming fa 50-135 ... I'm not in a rush so I can wait but otoh i prefer the 70-200 range as opposed to 50-135.
