 Dave,

 Thanks for your input and comments on this lens.  There aren't that many
 choices in this type of lens for the Pentax shooter.  I suspect I have two
 quandries, the Pentax vs. Tokina (speed and flare issues) and zoom vs.
 prime.  I have some thinking and evaluation to do to see if I
 would actually
 use the zoom if I got it.

The Pentax FA 20-35 is my most used lens.

Then again, I'm a wide guy.

I never had any problems with mine, but I would usually use it on subjects
within 15 feet. Could be that it's not so great at or near infinity.

I used the K T6-2X teleconvertor with my K 45-125 and M 200/4 with very good
results.  I had previously used a Vivitar TC with terrible results.  Perhaps
the T6-2X works better with longer lenses than 50mm.

  So the next day rolled around, and Bill took us to a stream he knew
  about. We shot for a while...I think someone may have fallen in. Luckily
  the borrowed MZ-S and FA 400/5.6 didn't get wet...
 Serves you right for not sharing

Oh, like I wasn't throwing the thing at you to use


  Let's see...we went back to camp after that, hung out for a bit, drank
  some of Bill's beer and went to sleep. Jessie forgot to tell us she's
  only 19, so the NC police (pronounced pO-lice) may be looking for me for
  alcohol violations.
 
 Jessie wants to know why you tell everything you know?

Covering my ass for the upcoming legal battles.

 
  Jeepgirl showed up for a minute to beg for a lens.
 
 A good lens will get you through times of no man better then a good man
will
 get you through times of no lens.   (originally a jeep quote.)

I thought Doug coined that?

  At that point, the weekend was over, more or less. Hugs and kisses,
  buh-bye.

 Tom took me (and Jessie) to Grayson Highlands, He wanted to marry me in
 front of the ponies, but I  decided to wait and see.

I think you misunderstood...I wanted to marry a pony.

 I am really glad I
 waited, He forgets to turn off the safe light in the darkroom when he is
 winding film.  I knew there had to be a problem with him somewhere

Oh man, low blow.

Too bad Shel isn't around, that's another plus for APX 25 - it doesn't fog
even with a minute under the safelight.

 Thank you Doug, Tom, Bill, John, and Mark for spending time with me and
 sharing a large amount of your knowledge. It is appreciated.

Thanks for being so enthusiastic...I think everyone was happy to have you
around.
