Thanks Jerome. I tend to like lenses that soften without distorting. The lenses that seem to draw the most complaints in regard to boke, distort the background a great deal, yielding strange patterns. The degree of softness in the background is more a function of the spatial relationships of len

Thanks Frank. Yes, straps are in this year. A common sight on the street these days. I tend to like the bokeh that this lens yields. It smooths without distorting. Paul > On 6/26/05, Paul Stenquist <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > For all those with an interest in the DA 50-200, here's a 200% de

Thanks David. I have to admit I never saw the drip. If I noticed it at all, I must have assumed it was a highlight on the hood of the car. I think any Pentax lens, save perhaps J or Takumar-K series lenses, can deliver at least very good results. I believe the exceptions we see are either due to
