Anyone considering the purchase of a 70-210/4 zoom should price the 80-200/2.8 zooms. It's surprising how small a premium you pay to get the extra speed (and hence ease of focus), build quality, and panache in this lens class. The real penalty is weight, but at least you get a tripod mount.

This would be the old manual focus type, but it is my first "pro" caliber zoom lens. - -- Nick Wright -------------------------------------------------------------------- mail2web - Check your email from the web at http://mail2web.com/ . - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
