Congratulations. I love that camera. I think Len has been using his with the A* 200 macro. I use the K 85/1'8 now and then and the A 50/1.2. It's quite easy to focus manually, with the in-foxes light being quite accurate. I use the D FA lenses for the most part: the 24-70/2.8, the 15-30/2.8 and the 150-450/ 4-5.6. I also use the DA* 60-250/4 quite often. It vignettes just a bit, and I shoot in crop mode if I'm in a situation where I don't want to deal with that.
