[QUOTE="dbhostler, post: 17409, member: 799"] xring, I don't doubt that Pentax makes good glass. I once ran a head to head lens test between my Leica equipment and my Pentax stuff. After processing the film and putting these negatives under a microscope, I couldn't tell the difference in resolution, contrast and distortion. I did this with several lens, same result. A $250 Pentax M lens was every bit as good as a $1000 Leica lens. The only way I could justify the cost of the Leitz equipment was the quality of material and assembly. They build the most rugged equipment you can buy. That's why when you see a Geographic photographer he always carries the little black camera with the red dot on it. Thanks for your advice... db [/QUOTE]
