Hi!
I just found a Pentax zoom F 70-210/4-5.6 on german ebay.
But I have already a Pentax SMC-M 80-200/4.5 (version 2) I bought last summer.
It has nice color rendition but it seems to be not very useful for handheld
photos with relative long shutter speeds.
And it is so long that my case almost cannot be closed.
On bdimitrov-page I noticed that the F 70-210/4-5.6 is only two thirds of the
barrel-length.
Now I cannot decide: Should I get rid off the M 80-200 and bid for the F
70-210?
I would like to know:
1. Is the F 70-210/4.5-5.6 as good or better in optical qualitiy as the M
80-200/4.5 ?
(The statements on Stan's page don't allow me to compare the two zooms).
2. How good is manual focusing on the F 70-210/4.5-5.6 ?
3. Is the F 70-210/4.5-5.6 easier to hand held?
Please can you help me to anwer these questions or do some recommendation?
(ebay runs for five days ...)
Regards
Bernd
