Well gang,
I appreciate all of your input and insights. I have finally decided on the
Tokina 28-70 Pro II model. Based on all the input and reviews I read, this
seemed like the best direction to go. So the order has been placed with
Adorama and I'll keep you posted as to how it turns out. Next I will be
looking at a wide zoom of which the Pentax 20-35 is the front runner. But
it may take a bit of time to build the funds up for it.
Thanks for all your help and advice,
Bruce Dayton
