Re: The 90mm f/2.0 was too good. So I returned it.

I can't say I disagree with you. I've never used the lens, but to me the images from it have seemed "clinical," to use your choice of word. But with a cropped sensor lens you get what you pay for. My last lens with any soul was the Tokina ATX 90mm Macro, The Bokina. I sold it many years ago. That being said, my Pentax system runs head and shoulders around my Fuji system when it comes to those special images that pop with soul and a story. Don't get me wrong. I love my Fuji and the few OIS stabilized lenses that I own, but there's just something about a K1 with a legacy lens that is a world of a difference.
