A 70-210/4 lenses are pretty easy to find on the used market. There are plenty of other 70-2xx lenses available, but not many are fixed aperture in the moderate size/price range. Pentax and the after market companies seem to jump from fixed 2.8 focal lenses which are expensive and heavy to cheaply made consumer lenses that are two stops slower. It would be nice to have something in between. alex
