NOT GOOD ONES. And I specifically mentioned GOOD ONES that DONT focus shift while zooming.

Anyone who has ever used a zoom knows this to be true, just because some crappy ones shift focus doesnt change that simple fact. jco -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Adam Maas Sent: Friday, November 10, 2006 7:12 PM To: Pentax-Discuss Mail List Subject: Re: Using a Super Tak w/ istDS- A challange to the list?
