Hello Shel, I can vouch for the Tokina 28-105 3.5/4.5. A couple years ago was the best third party 28-105 you could get. It is out of production by now but you can still find it new here and there. It's not easy to find used, probably because it's a keeper. Did you ever wonder why there are so many used Sigma 28-105/2.8 for sale? That one is real crap and the fast (relativeley) aperture is just bait... Is an heavy and rather big black lens, though, and I don't know if it would fit a ZX-7 nicely, if aesthetics are concerned. I wouldn't say any 28-200 lens would be really acceptable in quality and sturdiness but it's up to the person who uses it to judge. HTH, Flavio - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
