A good value zoom is the FA 28-80 4.0 Optically it is a very good lens, its only weak point is really low corner resolution at 28 mm. 4.0. Distortion is not very important, and it is the best 28-70 zoom in its price range. If you want to spend a little more, you can look for a used Tokina 28-70 mm. 2.6-2.8 ATX Pro II. It is also very good, it has a sturdy metal body, and faster than the Pentax I recommended before. You can still buy the Pentax new, although it has been discontinued recently. Used it costs around 150 dollars in excellent condition. You must expect to pay more than double if you find a used Tokina. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Carlos Royo [EMAIL PROTECTED] Zaragoza (Aragon) - Spain ------------------------------------------------------------------ - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
