Hi,
I use a Pentax 35-105 f/3.5 on my Pentax PZ-1 currently. I plan to
compliment this
lens with something like 70-200. I notice that there are two versions:
SMC A 70-210 f/4 (which I believe has a very good reputation??)
and the
Takumar-A 70-200 f/4 Macro (how good is this??)
Any thoughts, comparisons, For-sale, suggestions?
Thanks,
Gaurav
The Takumar is bad mechanically. It will loosen in no time if it is
not already loose. The A is a good lens in all respect. For a bit
over over 100$ I think you may find a still better F 70-210 4.5-5.6,
and you will benefit from AF. If you prefer a manual focussing lens,
the F lens has only a small plastic focus ring but you may get used
to it, or may not...
