I've had the manual focus version of that lens for years and I really like it. It's pretty sharp for a zoom:

I really like how fast it is, especially with my K10D only going up to iso 1600. In the dusk that extra stop and a half really comes in handy. Decent bokeh, too. Major drawback is its size and weight, but that's the tradeoff for speed, I guess. Wish mine were AF. I envy you for that. ;-) Great price you paid for an excellent lens. You ~had~ to buy it! cheers, frank "What can be asserted without proof can be dismissed without proof." -- Christopher Hitchens --- Original Message --- From: "Larry Colen (On Droid4est)" <[email protected]> Sent: July 7, 2012 7/7/12 To: "Pentax-Discuss Mail List" <[email protected]> Subject: I was a bad boy Stopped by citizen's photo in portland. $150 later I have a tokina 80-200/2.8 -- Sent from my Android phone with K-9 Mail.
