The focus is opposite to Pentax. It is a fairly decent lens, but is a bit flarey, in my experience. If you check this link you will find a 138 kb image file that was shot with the Tokina 17mm. As you can see, it is not the sharpest at the edges. I am not sure what aperture was used for this picture. http://www.accesscomm.ca/users/wrobb/Via1.jpg William Robb - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
