It's almost assuredly a rebadge of the Sigma 70-300 APO, and as such quite a reasonable performer considering its cost. To get the most out of it, stop down 1-2 stops and stay away from the last 50mm of the range where it will soften somewhat noticably. -Adam -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
