I think that's the first thing anyone comments on when they first use a K-5, but until you experience it for yourself, it just doesn't register how significant it is. > > In another departure from my bottom-feeder ways, I ordered my first > *new* lens yesterday.

I'm interested to see how it works out. I'd love a fast macroish standard prime, and have been longing for the DA35 macro for years. I have a love/hate relationship with my sigma 20/1.8.
