Yes. All the same lens, manufactured by Cosina and sold under various brand names (Cosina, Vivitar, Promaster, Samyang, Phoenix are a few of them - there may be more). Up until the Tokina-built DA* lenses, it was one of only two lenses that Pentax had made by an outside manufacturer (the other being the FA 28-200 f/3.8-5.6 made by Tamron). I'd prefer the Vivitar, but any brand name will do if it's that lens. (I have some experiments in mind...) > Mark Roberts wrote: >> Thibouille wrote: >> >>> Stuff I wanna get rid of.
