I have a pretty good Pentax 6X7 outfit with two M/L bodies and eight lenses. I have no complaints about any of the lenses I have. I have the older version (scalloped focus ring) 75mm f4.5, and it's a very good lens in my opinion. I thought about upgrading to the latest 75mm f2.8 lens until I checked the prices on the big auction site. I just can't justify laying out close to $3,000.00 for a lens like that when I've been more than happy with my old clunker 75mm f4.5. It seems that almost all the more expensive lenses like the 75mm f2.8 are coming from Japan. Almost seems as if the Japanese are becoming much more satisfied with digital and are unloading much of their film equipment on the big auction site. Anyway, I'm just curious as to how much better the 75mm f2.8 is over the older 75mm f4.5 other than being faster at f2.8? Not that I will buy one at this point, but maybe further down the line. Maybe!
