Re: FA 28-105 mm f/4-5.6
Not exactly side by side, but I did own the Tamron lens, which was the same without the SMC and electronics. It was a good lens, but I found the performance of the Pentax PZ to be a bit better, more contrast and better color. That may have been due to the SMC coatings, but overall, I was happier with the old PZ version. however, the Tamron is a very nice and compact lens, as well as quite light when compared to the Pentax PZ lens. - Original Message - From: "Ayash Kanto Mukherjee" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, January 28, 2002 12:23 AM Subject: Re: FA 28-105 mm f/4-5.6 > Hallo John! > > Thanks for your views. > I still have a small question, if you don't mind.

Re: FA 28-105 mm f/4-5.6
Hallo John! Thanks for your views. I still have a small question, if you don't mind. The one with IF has 15 elements in 12 groups while the one with power zoom has 13 elements with 11 groups. Don't you think that the IF one could have closer optical performance to its power zoom counterpart if not equal? Have you compared the two lenses side by side? Just inquisitive. I apologise beforehand if I am disturbing you. With regards, Ayash.

No question, the old power zoom is a much better lens. One of the best in its class. - Original Message - From: "Ayash Kanto Mukherjee" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Sunday, January 27, 2002 10:15 PM Subject: FA 28-105 mm f/4-5.6 > Hallo all! > > According to Boz's K-mount page, PENTAX produces two FA lenses in the > range 28-105mm f/4-5.6 > > One has power zoom option and the other one has IF (Internal Focussing). > Boz has also stated that the one with IF is possibly fabricated by Tamron > wth genuine PENTAX electroncs and SMC coating. > > How does the optical performance of the one with IF compares with the one > with Power Zoom? > > Inquisitive. > - Ayash. > - > This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.

FA 28-105 mm f/4-5.6
Hallo all! According to Boz's K-mount page, PENTAX produces two FA lenses in the range 28-105mm f/4-5.6 One has power zoom option and the other one has IF (Internal Focussing). Boz has also stated that the one with IF is possibly fabricated by Tamron wth genuine PENTAX electroncs and SMC coating. How does the optical performance of the one with IF compares with the one with Power Zoom? Inquisitive. - Ayash. - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
