Hallo Wendy In the german FotoColor was a test about telezooms. The new FA100-300 4.7-5.8 got simular verdicts than the Pentax 80-320 which has a good reputation. The power zoom version is also big and havy. There is a third version, the F100-300 which looks like the powerzoom but has no zoom motor and is less expensive. For money the new FA100-300 4.7-5.8 looks good, but I think it has a plastic lens mount. regards Rüdiger

A power zoom version (f4.5-5.6) and a current silver version (f4.7-5.8) >The comments on Stan's site all seem to pertain to the power zoom version, and imply that it's not worthy to carry the Pentax name. > >What about the new version? It's considerably cheaper, but does that mean that it's an even worse performer than its older brother? > >tvm >wendy beard >ottawa, canada >http://www.beard-redfern.com >
