... I meant of course Shutter Priority Mode; Tv.
Camera must set Aperture.
BTW: www.Photodo.com rates the Sigma EX 2.8 70-200mm APO above the
compeditors from Pentax and Tokina!!

Amazing, isn't it?

Grade: 3.9 35mm/MF Sigma AF 70-200/2,8 APO EX HSM
Grade: 3.4 35mm/AF Tokina AT-X AF 80-200/2,8
Grade: 3.2 35mm/AF Pentax SMC-FA Zoom 80-200/2,8 ED (IF)

Hello Collin. Very intersting:
Which body have ypu used it with? (I use *ist D And MZ-S) (why does it lose
contact - is the contact conection wireing inside the lens damanged and may
be reapaired? I would need to have thos repaired - I guess 100UISD for a
reparair would be OK. I shoot concert shots in Av mode to ensure fast speed.
Thus will I need Av to work. I would probably use it at F.2.8-5.6 most of
the time. (For good light conditions I'll use my F 70-210mm).

I want shots like this, but at slower ISO (400-1600 ASA) speeds:

Have your ever had it disassembled (my 1st Tokina AT-X 2.6-2.8 28-70mm
suffered the same, due to unqualified repair attempt(me) after an impact
damage.
The zoom ring thing doesn't really bother me, as I often shoot 20-100
similar shots without ever changing my position or the subject framing.

Tokina 80-200/2.8 AT-X AF

I got this from a PDMLer, but with one caveat.
Then I got the 80-400, so this has sat in its box and I've hardly touched
it.
So it should go.

It's the AF version.
Here's the caveat:
The zoom ring has some play, so you simply keep it pulled back when
turning it.
Otherwise it loses electrical contact with the body.
As a result I got it for a good price.
And I'm going to pass it on for that price PLUS I'll throw in the 1.4x AF
TC.
$225 + shipping. PayPal preferred.
