the too bad part is the cameras fault not the lens's. Put the shame where it belongs, K/M type lenses are perfectly capable of everything but program AE and shutter priority AE ( neither of which are/were very popular ) but the PENTAX DSLR is ignoring their capabilities... Its not the lenses fault at all...Its PENTAX DSLR fault for not utilizing ALL the features of the K/M type lenses... (specifically not sensing the aperture ring setting cam) JCO

Tokina made a really good 80-200 f/2.8 manual focus lens for quite a while. I think it was an SD lens. Mine doesn't have an A setting, which is too bad. Optically, it is a swell lens on the istD.
