I can only find the Sigma 24-70/f2.8, 28-70/f2.8 and a 28-70/f2.8 DF and Tokina 28-80/f2.8 (and the older 28-70/f2.6-2.8 which is close enough to a fixed aperture for most occasions) Tamron's 28-105/f2.8 doesn't seem to be available in Pentax mount. The only f4 zoom is the Pentax 28-70/f4. Nobody else seems to make a constant aperture AF zoom (for Pentax mount, in the 28-80mm range - there is the recently mentioned Sigma 100-300/f4, and the 80-200/f2.8's but I don't think that those will work too well in a studio :-) So the available zooms look like: Mfg. Lens Approx. Price (USD) Pentax 28-70/f4 $150 Sigma 28-70/f2.8 EX $280 Tokina 28-70/f2.6-2.8 $370 Sigma 28-70/f2.8 EX DF $380 Sigma 24-70/f2.8 EX DF $380 Tokina 28-80/f2.8 $600 Pentax 28-70/f2.8 $980 Any others? --Mike Nosal - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
