Yep, it's a Tamron. I had one and it was OK at wider focal lengths but not very good at longer ones. Stopped down and at 28mm it was quite decent. I remember showing Mike Johnston one of my B&W prints made with this lens (and an ME Super)at 28mm and f/8 and enjoying his surprise when I told him what lens I used. He thought for a moment and said, "Well, most lenses are pretty good at f/8!" OTOH: He wouldn't have been impressed with anything at 100mm or more, no matter what the aperture. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
