I have to second that, these are fantastic lenses that can be had quiet
inexpensively, though the difference is more like 2/3 stop.

Several years ago I was able to pickup a Vivitar Series I 70-210/3.5.
Only 1/2 stop slower that a 2.8 and $100.00.

Subject: Dreaming of a fast 70-210mm or 80-200mm AF zoom
I use the SMC Pentax-F 4-5.6/70-210mm a lot.
But it's often too slow.
The FA 2.8 Pentax 80-200mm is almost three times as expensive as a
similar
Sigma lens.
A Tokina 2.8 AT-X 80-200mm is only appr. 50% of the Sigma. This makes
the
Pentax lens is 6 times as expensive as the Tokina!
Is it really worth this it?
