I played with the AF version once. The close focusing distance of over 5 ft is too far to get a good effect at the 35mm settings. I have a 35-105mm f/4-5.6F and its close focusing of 4.6 ft. is a problem too. The newer FA zoom focus down to 1.4ft is joyous to use at wide angle setting (though ugly looking ;-).

There were some lenses released for them. One of them was a 35-135 f3.5-4.5. Was this lens any good? I am thinking about getting it to replace my Tokina 28-105 f3.5-4.5. Any one have some thoughts on this. - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List. To unsubscribe, go to http://www.pdml.net and follow the directions.
