Friends don't let friend drink New Belgium Trippels and surf eBay. :) I know that this group would gladly push a fellow down the slippery slope, but I just took the plunge and snagged my first "Made in Japan" silver Limited, the 43m f/1.9, serial no. 0003290 with hood and original caps. Good Lord is it beautiful.
I had a 35mm macro limited (briefly) but fairly quickly sold it. So this will be my first Silver Limited ever and is in a focal length that fills a gap that is only covered (now) by my Pentax DA 16-45mm zoom. I'm curious to see if it will be a keeper. Given that is is a MIJ early serial no. I don't think I will have any trouble recouping my investment if for some reason I wish to turn it. Most of my "good" AF lenses are Sigma EX (not Pentax) so I'm curious to see how much I fall in love with this lens. The other Limited that would be on my "want list" is the 77mm f1.8. In any event, with the FF Pentax coming, this is probably not a bad time to snag good deals on FA Limiteds. -- Life is too short to put up with bad bokeh. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
