"SOMEHOW (I have no idea how, it defies explanation, as most things do where I am concerned! lol), SOMEONE (I'm blaming my hubby cause he was on my 'puter last night), reset the default email addy for outgoing emails to our "family" email address."
Which is why we are a three computer family. Only one telephone line though, which causes its own grief. Pentax's 28-70 f2.8 is very fine optically, but is reputed to be of such heavy construction with complicated gearing that some cameras have had trouble moving the lens elements to autofocus. I have the Tokina 28-80 f2.8. It is unbelieveably sharp, even beating some primes -- slightly. (I've done the tests). When Popular Photography tested it they essentially called it best in class. It is big and heavy and, if you shoot into the sun, prone to flare. I rarely shoot into the sun, and have gotten it to flare only once. I've also used it on the *ist D, where it did fine. The newer Tamron 28-75 f2.8 tests equal to the Tokina for sharpness (perhaps even a bit better). It is said to be designed for digital (= better lens coatings, I think). It is also shorter than others when zoomed to its shortest length. It is of the extending barrel design, like the FA 24-90 and the DA 16-45. This is a physical design that I don't like, but am getting used to on the DA 16-45. If I was looking to buy one today it would probably be the Tamron. I believe Bruce Dayton owns one. Joe
