i have the older 28-70 f2.8. i don't think you can buy better without paying a $1000.00 for it.
I am considering purchasing a zoom lens. I know, I know, what on earth for? I have always been a prime user and suspect I will continue that. I am looking at building up a smaller, lighter travel kit and the zooms I have used to date have been disappointing. From a feature perspective, I am looking for a fast (2.8), AF, medium range zoom (28-70 ish). Just something that can be on the camera and ready without having to fumble in the bag. I am concerned however, with optical quality. I already have a Tamron 28-80 f:3.5-5.6 that is nothing to write home about. Later, I picked up the Tokina 28-105 f:3.5-4.5 and haven't been any happier with it. With both of these I keep going back to the 43 Limited or FA 85 and fumbling. Are there any zooms out there that I should consider? The only choices seem to be Tokina 28-70 or 80 ATX-Pro, Sigma 28-70 f:2.8 EX or the Pentax 28-70 f:2.8 (really pricey). Does anyone have any experience with any of these? Bruce Dayton Sacramento, CA - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
