I may believe I have made a bad error concerning the tests (Tamron-Tokina-Pentax) posted earlier this evening. I may have used a camera setting that caused the camera with the Tamron lens to choose a different focus point for the Tamron shots. Tamron owners (and others), please accept my apologies :-) The Tamron isn't this bad at all! Please, see my recent, and more valid test shots at:

The foucs point is at the battery in the centre. At 35mm Focal length: http://gallery37564.fotopic.net/p10009542.html At 70mm Focal length: http://gallery37564.fotopic.net/p10009545.html Is this a back focus problem (the Tamron lens). Or is this Tamron just a dog! I have seen MTF test giving this Tamron lens grades as good as the other two. If this is valid, my Tamron is a Monday version!

But Pentax makes very good consumer lenses. I just tested three consumer zoom lenses: Pentax SMC-F 3.5-5.6/35-80mm Tokina 2.8-4.3/28-70mm Tamron 3.5-5.6/28-80mm Aspherical The Pentax-F (for which I have paid 31 USD + shipping) simply beats the crap out of the two others. So, what I perhaps can learn is this: Pentax makes excellent consumer lenses. (That Pentax makes great pro lenses, I allready know. But they are quite expensive). If I ever buy third party lenses again, I shall make sure it is pro-level versions, not consumer lenses. All the best. Jens Bladt mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://hjem.get2net.dk/bladt
