I havent tried the 17mm f3.5 SP tamron on digital yet but I will post the results (maybe a comparison to the RMC Tokina 17mm at same time?) when I do. jco

Could you post a photo with the Tamron too? thanks, Markus -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of J. C. O'Connell Sent: Sunday, March 04, 2007 6:28 PM To: 'Pentax-Discuss Mail List' Subject: RE: beauty shot: Pentax K10D- 17mm lenses are out there That is a really big gap between 14 and 20 ( equiv. from 21 to 30mm on FF ). lets see, to fill that gap between 14 and 20 evenly he would need a ~ 16.75mm lens, and that would be easily found in a 17mm which would be close enough. I dont think Pentax ever made a 17mm rectilinear lens, but there are third party models out there, I have them in both f3.5 RMC tokina and f3.5 AD2 tamron. The tokina works well on APS, havent tried the tamron yet. There is also an AT-x tokina 17mm, which I havent ever used. FWIW, heres a sample with the RMC tokina 17mm F3.5 on a istDS taken under heavy overcast skies : http://www.jchriso.com/temp/17MMRMCTOKINASAMPLE1.jpg jco -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Godfrey DiGiorgi Sent: Sunday, March 04, 2007 10:27 AM To: Pentax-Discuss Mail List Subject: Re: beauty shot: Pentax K10D On Mar 4, 2007, at 6:36 AM, Jack Davis wrote: > Godders, how are you getting along with such gaping focal length holes > in your inventory.
