No, it's not what you think. I just dug out my first DSLR, the Pentax *istDS, and attached the old 50mm macro lens and shot the first thing that popped into view. Because it's spring I am intending using the *istDS to shoot some infra-red pics (watch this space) so thought it would be a good idea to charge it up and run some frames through well in advance. Unfortunately I now can't find the infra-red filter, arghh. Meanwhile I am just astonished how good the old macro lens is. Pin sharp at 4 inches away; you'd pay 100's of pounds for that quality nowadays.
