I have the SD version of this lens ("SD" is Tokina's "APO") with a
P/KA mount. I got a good price for it, so given the little use I give
it I'm quite happy. Externally it looks a lot like yours, Tim; very
solid build and a smooth focus ring (at least mine has).I've used it in conjunction with the Pentax FA 1.7x TC with mixed results. As one might imagine, it worked OK in very bright conditions, but AF tanked in less-bright scenes. I wonder if Pentax's roadmapped "long telephoto" is going to be a DA* 400mm f/5.6... --M. -- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- http://www.EnticingTheLight.com -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- 2009/6/21 Tim Bray <[email protected]>: > Want a big lens?
