i'm not blown away by the performance in canikon land..
and more importantly, i'm not blown away by the pricing either. :bsmilie:
The funny thing is, the non-L ring drive lenses cost less than Pentax equivalents.
I'm amazed that my humble 16-45 zoom now cost over $400 USD new. I don't know what it is with Pentax, the lenses keep getting more and more expensive.
DDElectronics currently lists the 100mm Macro USM (non-L) for $739. How much is a used D-FA 100mm on B&S? ;p
We don't have a decent 85mm either.. (the 85/1.4 FA* is hideously, and I mean hideously expensive, and discontinued) while you can get the 85/1.8 Ultrasonic for $400 on B&S.
I must admit, part of the lure of Canon-land is the much wider availability of just about everything. I'm not really sold on the Limiteds (they cost way too much, although admittedly are mechanically gorgeous).
