Ive heard good things about the D FA 80-200/2.8. Im not really into AF I
have two excellent MF
80-200/2.8 lenses, a tamron SP and a Tokina AT-X, They are both optically
and mechanically great but
they are bulky so I rarely use them, prefering the A70-210/4 most of the
time if Im going to use a zoom. The nice thihg about thing about the
tamron 180/2.5 is its fast and compact (but not that light).

Yep. I did some portraits recently with the D FA 70-200/2.8 on the K-1.
It makes a nice portrait rig.

Looks good. Would love to see it on a K-1.
So would I, just cant scrape up $2K for a K-1 yet.
My budget is more like a mint used K-5 IIs.
this lens would make interestinig full frame portraits on a K-1
wide open as it has nice bokeh. But they would have to be
outdoors in the shade as the working distance with a 180mm
would be pretty long.

For about a month, I was convinced someone had stolen this lens from
me as I
could not locate it. Today I was thrilled when I finally found it.
Its the clearest
telephoto I have ever owned. Color is as good as pentax, istDS 1/250
F8 6Mp Jpeg reduced for web.

p.s. this lens is sharp, I really cant wait to try it on a much
higher resolution body.
