Thanks Boris, Actually I spend enough time on the KMP site that I've downloaded a local copy to my machine to make it faster to browse. I also look at the Pentax Lenses Review site quite often: http://home.att.net/~alnem/html/pentax_zooms.html They don't mention the Takumar F 4-5.6/70-210 but do warn against the Takumar/Pentax-F 70-200/4-5.6. I learned about the cheaper "Takumar" AF lenses a while back, the hard way. Bought a couple of them and sold them again within a week, found them to be poor in build and performance.
