...Where in Idaho are you? I'm in Salt Lake.... I had one of the 35-80 on my old PZ-70...it worked well. Haven't had any problems with my 28-70...feels ok for an AF lens. I do not like the 'loose' feel of any AF lens. I still enjoy the nice smooth feel of a manual focus lens. I'm up in Boise, Idaho. Weather has been so nice...I'm looking forward to outdoor photography in the sun again. By the way...if you use a hood on the 80-200 4.7-5.6, do you use a rubber hood? I find I don't like rubber hoods as much for AF lenses. Thanks. Dave -- David Spaulding Photographer http://d.spaulding.tripod.com - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
