i'm unhappy with the 24-90. on a film body, it's OK and that is all. on a
digital body, it's just not good enough. after i got the *istD, i barely use
the lens, and then i got the FA* 28-70. i think it is unlikely that i will
use it now except on a full frame body, whether film or digital. it's
it has too much CA on film too. however, that can be corrected fairly easily
when shooting RAW and using PSCS Camera RAW. it's just not wide enough on a
APS sensor body for most of my needs.

i have never shot with my 400/2.8 at any aperture other than f2.8. there
isn't any point with a lens of this type. if you could use a smaller
aperture, you wouldn't need that lens. also, if Pentax did what other

i'm cleaning out stuff i hardly or never use anymore. all items are in
original boxes with original documentation.
Pentax 77mm circular polarizer - opened, never used $100
Pentax AA-Battery Pack FG - never opened, never used $20
Pentax SMCP A50/2 - opened, never used $35
