Reviews with many samples: http://dc.watch.impress.co.jp/cda/lens_review/2006/12/15/5255.html On the field use report: http://dc.watch.impress.co.jp/cda/review/2006/11/21/5079.html Can't understand everything, but the main criticism is the bad flare control. And it mentioned that it would be interesting to see if the Pentax DA* coating would do better. Someone mentioned that co-developed Tokina lenses shared the same SMC coating? I hope not in this case. -- --Lawrence [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.vex.net/~lawrence -- --Tungsten T3 Enhanced DIA Keyboard----Nokia Ringtone Convertor-- -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
