OT: Ebay practices, WAS RE: Pentax 28-80/2,8?
Hi, Mark wrote: Maybe it's just me, but I do not like it when sellers describe an item as a Pentax lens in the auction title and then described the item as for Pentax, made by in the auction body. There is one retailer that regularly describes a lens as Pentax bayonet sometimes with fit afterwards and sometimes not. Even worse, and what leads me to suspect that they are deliberately trying to deceive, is that all the pictures carefully do not show the name of the manufacturer. mike
Re: Pentax 28-80/2,8 ?
The only f2.8's that come close to that range are the FA 28-70 and the AF 35-70, that I know of anyway. keller.schaefer wrote: Does any body know of a Pentax 28-80/2,8 (!) sold only in the USA and Switzerland - at least that is what the (Ebay) seller claims (and still does, even after being specifically asked). bdimitrov.de doesn't have it, but it would surely be an interesting lens... Probably just another example of Sorry, I don't know nothing about photography - found these parts in a drawer... - or maybe not? Sven
RE: Pentax 28-80/2,8 ?
The only 28-80mm F2.8 lens of which I am aware is the Tokina ATX 280 AF Pro. Here's a link to the US distributor's spec sheet: http://thkphoto.com/products/tokina/afl-04b.html A version of this lens is made for Pentax AF cameras. I believe that it is a pretty well-regarded lens. It is definitely not made by Pentax Corporation. The USA and Switzerland only description seems unlikely. Maybe it's just me, but I do not like it when sellers describe an item as a Pentax lens in the auction title and then described the item as for Pentax, made by in the auction body. --Mark keller.schaefer [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Does any body know of a Pentax 28-80/2,8 (!) sold only in the USA and Switzerland - at least that is what the (Ebay) seller claims (and still does, even after being specifically asked). bdimitrov.de doesn't have it, but it would surely be an interesting lens...
