Message text written by INTERNET:[EMAIL PROTECTED] >I am looking for a wide angle zoom to complement the Sigma 28-135 I use w/ the Pentax Zx-5n. I am looking at the Tokina 19-35mm f/3.5-4.5, but would like to read others experiences w/ this lens or other zooms similar to it. I do not mean to start a prime vs zooms debate; I am *not* considering a prime lens in this range at this time. <
i have the Vivitar Series 1 19-35 manual focus zoom that i have retired. it's a good inexpensive lens that can flare a lot if you have any highlights in the frame. sharpness is OK, but the lens isn't that expensive, so i didn't expect miracles. i replaced it with a Sigma 15-30 AF zoom because for the work that i like to do, 19 isn't wide enough, and neither was the 17mm Tokina that i have also retired.
