well, when I get the beast the one sure way to check is to try to mount it on my K-1000 :-) ann On 7/19/2013 23:24, John wrote: On 7/19/2013 5:57 PM, Ann Sanfedele wrote: that won't be happening - (friend taking picture) I'll just have to wait to get it in person Intereasting, though - in the photos for the Pentax K there is no red dot. - all the lenses I have have them. ann Looks like it's an 'A' lens that's not locked in the 'A' position.

Re: Question about Tokina Zoom 28-210 vis a vis Pentax
My 28-80 2.8 Tokina zoom is built like a tank and is better with film than with digital. The zooms that really seem to have gone up in quality (optical and build) are the Sigmas and Tamrons, IMO. Since the Tokina is a gift, that trumps paying for a Pentax, Tamron, or Sigma. :-) Jeffery On Jul 19, 2013, at 11:59 AM, Ann Sanfedele wrote: > > the friend whose wedding I'm shooting ended up acquiring a Tokina 28-210 zoom > which he intentds to give me...

the friend whose wedding I'm shooting ended up acquiring a Tokina 28-210 zoom which he intentds to give me...
