Thanks. I was pleased with how the fountain turned out. I think it was Joe who was talking about the Tokina ATX 400/5.6. A couple came up on KEH and so I decided to get one. I am particularly pleased with the size and weight. Some time back I had a Pentax A 400/5.6 and found that it was too big to go in the bag and so I just didn't use it much. This Tokina is really no bigger than my K 300/4 and so fits nicely in the bag. It handles pretty well and so far it seems to be pretty good.
