Well the optical blue print is the same design indeed. But looking at the Tokina somehow I find it VERY ugly and huge. Pentax did a nice design effort on this one :)
I dunno why I appreciated Photozone tests but I'm more and more convinced that such short tests are mostly irrelevant. They point a couple issues which may be of interest. For the rest ... try the lens. Just to put thinghs into perspective, compare the photozone test with the test report from a couple days ago... * The theory test says it is good but nothing else. * The practical test and used by guys indeed taking pictures on the field say it is not far from excellent (if not better). It is clear enough, to me. -- Thibault Massart aka Thibouille ---------------------- Photo: K10D,Z1,SuperA,KX,MX, P30t and KR-10x ;) ...
