Funny you should ask: I was just leaving the house to make test shots, comparing
Tokina 2.8-4.3/28-70mm Tokina AT-X ProII 2.6-2.8/28-70mm Pentax SMC-F 4-5.6/35-80mm The only standard zoom lenses I have got until I get myself a 18-35mm, 18-50mm or a 16-45mm. I'll check the focusing as well and post some tests later today. I did some casual test shots the other day, but couldn't really tell the difference - and I thought the Pentax was doing pretty well, cosidering the cost of the lens. BTW how come some lenses seem to focus elsewhere than at the screen/film plane, when mounted on the *ist D ??

I noticed that the FA28-80 (lacking macro) is actually more versatile that the F28-80 (with macro) as it focuses at 0.45m anyway. Kostas
