I've had three Sigmas, and still have one. - Oh...PS. I used (but did not own) the Sigma 20 mm F1.8 DG. I considered getting one because I was dissatisfied with the wide open performance of the FA* 24 F2. But when I compared the Sigma 20 to the FA 20 F2.8, the Pentax lens was so superior

Re: Lens question

From what I've heard and also from limited personal experience, Sigma lenses are very good optically, but suffer in build quality. Bill - I've had three Sigmas, and still have one. APO 70-300 F4.5.6 Macro. Really sucked at 300 mm. Images appeared out of focus, especially at the edges.

lens question

Does anyone have any experience with the Tokina AF 20-35mm f/2.8? It's a constant aperture wide angle lens. BH has it for $299, which seems like a good price. Thanks, Micah -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net

Micah, One of our folks in the local camera club has this lens for Nikon. He seems to really like it. I realize this is not much, but that's all I can tell *sigh*. Boris Micah B. Kleit wrote: Does anyone have any experience with the Tokina AF 20-35mm f/2.8? It's a constant aperture wide

645 lens question

Howdy gang! If you don't my my picking the collective brain once again, I have a question about wide angle lenses for the Pentax 645. The enablement bug continues to bite pretty hard and I find myself considering a new (used) medium format system a little earlier than I anticipated. My current

645 lens question

I used a couple 645 bodies and lenses when I was actively shooting weddings. I also used them for other types of photography as well. In addition to the two bodies, I had several inserts, 120 and 220. Having more than one is almost a necessity. I had at various times the 35mm, 45mm, 55mm, 75mm,
