Re: Sigma 18-35/3.5-4.5 MF query

Peter, as a price indicator, I got mine from Photo Continental (not the 
cheapest around by any means) for about A$650.  original list was 990.
I find the quality Ok,if not up to the standard of my Pentax lenses (of 
course!)- Ryan has also used it and found it satisfactory, I think.

Peter, I use the AF version of this lens on the MZ-S
and haven't noticed any problems with it.
Thanks John.
Maybe I should take the MX into the shop and shoot some pics
with it and see for myself. Although no-one has claimed the
lens as a paragon of iamging virtue, no-one has condemned it
either. For the versatility it seems to offer it might be a
good buy. It is new and priced the same as a secondhand
Tamron 24/2.5 (later version with large front element) and
a bit more than the earlier version of the same Tamron.
I really just wanted a 24/2.8 of decent quality, but they
seem quite thin on the ground in K mount.
