Hi John, which lens are you referring to? I had the Sigma 2.8-4/28-105 ASPH whatever - and that was not good. I have looked at many tests and not seen any lenses that are quite sharp at the long end. But I have not seen any tests on the Pentax 28-105 power zoom which many people hold in great esteem. All the best! Raimo Personal photography homepage at http://www.uusikaupunki.fi/~raikorho
