>I kind of missed the last discussion- >I'm looking for something in the 70-210 range or 80-200 range and >am seriously considering the SMC-A 70-210 f/4 Macro. Good, bad, ugly?
Good, just don't use the Macro mode which sucks. >Is this a bad choice for a zoom? No, if you don't mind the size and weight. If you cannot afford the FA*80-200/2.8, this is the next best thing from Pentax. >Is this one of the zooms which gets loose with age? Zoom creep is a characteristic of this zoom. Don't even try to fix it (because you can't). >Also, is it a push-pull zoom? Or called... one touch zoom. >KEH has these in varying grades for under $200, so I thought it might >make a decent budget zoom. Note, this is _not_ the Takumar A zoom, >which I know is not very good and the price reflects accordingly. Sure, you mean the SMC PENTAX-A 70-210/4, 58m filter thread with built-in hood. regards, Alan Chan _________________________________________________________________ Join the world�s largest e-mail service with MSN Hotmail. http://www.hotmail.com - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
