It's important to note that you were shooting with a Pentax K-7, by my
estimation the absolute worst of all the Pentax DSLRs I used, which would
include all the top models. Even the istD was better in some ways. The K-5 was
a huge upgrade.
Worst how? 2X+ the resolution of the

In the middle of 1984, I had tossed most of everything I owned into a
friend's closet in Santa Cruz, CA, sold all the rest but what I could

the United States. I stopped in New York for a month and some,
I remember reading that Sony has replaced the Minolta proprietary hot
shoe with something else weather it's another proprietary mount based on
the ISO standard or something else, I don't know. The local Camera
store that carries Sony only has the NEX line in stock.

That is not true...well mostly. You can shoot raw and convert in
camera to TIFF on the K-7. You can't pick TIFF as a default format
though. Personally I would rather have the RAW, especially with the
k-7's noise reduction. LR does a better job in that regard IMO.

The sony proprietary hot shoe was NEX only I believe(I could be
wrong), but I believe that sony is going back to a standard hot shoe
that will take mostly anything.

So...I just bought a much sought after decent copy of the A35-105/3.5.

Does Tokina still make any lenses in Pentax mount?
i think the point is that Pentax Tokina have (had?) an agreement where Tokina
would produce the same lens design in other mounts, but not in K mount, which
is why Tokina doesn't seem to produce K-mount
Yes. The 12-24 was tokina designed and Pentax also shared the 50-135
design with Tokina. I believe Pentax developed that particular lens. I
believe there may be some other Tokina designed lenses with the Pentax
name on them over the years. In fact Pentax has had a long history of
