I'm not sure how many Tokina lenses from that era I've bought used over the years but, for what it's worth, I've not had to return any. I have that lens but I tend to use a autofocus zoom nowadays so I don't have many sample photos. I dug out some; web sized images only I'm afraid. https://www.flickr.com/search/?tags=tokinasl17mmf35&sort=relevance&user_id=54887100%40N00 -- Eric http://xkcd.com/1098/ -- 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.
