Thanks in advance. P.S. This is a FF lens.
Years ago I owned the Tokina 28-70 AT-X Pro II 2.6/2.8 in K mount and I remember being very impressed by it. It is heavy and made of neutron star innards! I recall it being sharp when stopped down a couple, but reasonable wide open. It was certainly amongst my kit up until the time I bought an EOS D60 in 2003 and sold the bulk of my K mount kit for some lenses to go with a DSLR. I may have even obtained an EF version of the Tokina - but memory does not serve well here. <http://www.photozone.de/Reviews/276-tokina-af-28-70mm-f28-26-at-x-pro- ii-lab-test-report--review> <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canon_EOS_D60> -- Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ Broadcast, Corporate, || (O) | Web Video Production ---------- <www.seeingeye.tv> _____________________________ -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
