Hi !
Yesterday my new lens SMC A 100/2.8 macro arrived. 180 Euro. This is one of the latest Non-Autofocus lenses that Ashai/Pentax made.

This one feels like a metal-tank in my hads. Focus-wheel is very large and smooth.

I was really getting worried after your warnings about ebay-second chance buys ... but I am glad that everything went fine...

I felt like a child getting christmas presents Laughing ... I had a walk with it today and made some test shots. Didn't really do macro stuff but anyway results are what I expected from such a pricy lens...
