The A 70-210/4 is a wonderful lens, sharp, nice boket. I have it and 2 Vivitar Series 1 210/2.8-4, some say the Pentax is better. I think they are about the same, just different in color rendering and boket. The AT-X 100-300/4 is an awesome lens also, I love mine. It is large and a bit heavy but excellent quality. I purchased mine (mint)at a local camera shop for $95.00! Didn't know what they had. Haven't seen one on eBay for a while. KEH has one for $179.00 in "bargain" condition. This is a KA type lens, as are the two above.
