I bought an old Sigma 18-35 manual focus on eBay a while back: Henry's had a bunch of them as new "old stock" and was selling them out at around $200.00 each. It's no match for a good prime or even a current "pro level" zoom but it's great for the money if you can find one. It's one of the most fun lenses in my bag, actually. -- Mark Roberts www.robertstech.com - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
