The only problem with the F 70-210 and the reason why I sold it (I
needed money other wise I would have kept it but well..) is the
weight.
It is a tank, very sturdy IMO but sooo heavy :(

I like tanks, if they'd let me I'd drive one. I can imagine nothing
more intimidatingly in a dispute over a parking space with a minivan...

That should be intimidating, and add or SUV to that.

Feels like it couldn't hurt but I'm curious about the opinions of
all the experts
Charles,
I think the SMC F70-210/4-5.6 is the best in class.
I've own and used the FA70-200/4-5.6 (with the power zoom) since the PZ-1 era.
It's a pretty good lens if unnerving at times (wobbly elements worry
me, but work fine).
This butterfly picture background was taken years ago on film.

Which 80-200, there are like 8 of them, 9 including the Takumar Bayonet.
ok four of them are autofocus. None of the autofocus lenses in that
range have the have as good a reputation as the f 70-210mm, well except
for the f2.8 FA. Which if you can get it for $40. I'd say why ask the
Flip answer aside which is better depends I suppose on the Vivitar

something of a toss up. (I don't have the a Pentax 80-200, I have the
smp F 70-210). I also have two different versions of the VS1, (the

You got it. I have the Vivitar but sometimes it's a

Your previous email asked which 80-200 but
That little lens was a real sleeper. It scored 3.0 on the old PhotoDo,
while the highly-regarded FA Powerzoom 28-105 F4-5.6 scored 3.2 (IIRC)
and the very highly regarded FA 20-35 F4 scored 3.4 (again, IIRC). It's
good, but not great. Certainly worth $40. I think it was overlooked by
