I'm almost persuaded to buy it. Does anyone have any photos taken with this lens posted anywhere?

The build | quality is superb, the quality of the image is superb, the manual focus | mode is superb (for an auto lens - in fact I don't own an auto body so I | couldn't tell you about the auto focus but I gather it's good). Some find | the manual to auto changeover fiddly but that's nonesense, it's easy and | quick. They changed it for the 28-80 which now supersedes the 28-70. | | Lens info here: | | http://www.thkphoto.com/ | | http://www.jdhphotography.com/Tokina/Tokina-28-70.html | | | Reviews here: | | http://www.photographyreview.com/reviews/35mm_zoom_lenses/product_5593.asp | | http://www.picture-perfect.net/tokina28-70review.shtml | | http://www.photozone.de/reviews/tokina2870.htm | | Hope this helps, | | Cotty | | _______________________________________________________________ | Cotty's MacAds - free UK Macintosh classified ads at www.macads.co.uk | Adverts to [EMAIL PROTECTED] / all other abuse to [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | - | This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
