Hi Gary,
Yes, the steam loco. shot was on the new 55mm lens.
As for the performance of the Pentax 67 lenses, it's hard for me to give a definitive conclusion at this stage, since I haven't done formal tests. However, my initial impressions are that some lenses are good and others less so. The 75mm f2.8AL, 105mm f2.4, 135mm f4 macro (only used up close) and 150mm f2.8 have all seemed good. The 200mm f4 I have yet to achieve a really crisp shot with, but that could be because I haven't used a tripod; also, I was never totally convinced by that lens even on film. I haven't tried the 300mm f4 EDIF yet. Overall, very promising with these lenses, I must say. And the way the focus confirmation works is very slick.
