Re: Tokina 50-135
Tokina versions of Pentax lenses are not available in K mount. The only way to get the Tokina is to switch to Nikon or Canon. Also the lens is small enough that there is no advantage to a tripod mount. It's really a very compact lens for its range. -Adam On Mon, Oct 6, 2008 at 7:17 PM, Tom Lesser [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Greetings: I hope I am not being sacrilegious asking here about the Tokina version of the 50-135/2.8, but I'd really like this range in a lens with a tripod mount.

Re: Tokina 50-135
I would second that. I like tripod mounts on lenses that need them. I have this lens and can't think of any need for one. It is small and light enough that it would only get in the way. -- Best regards, Bruce Monday, October 6, 2008, 5:16:03 PM, you wrote: AM Tokina versions of Pentax lenses are not available in K mount.

RE: Tokina 50-135 F2.8
Is the April issue of PopPhot on the stands yet? Shel [Original Message] From: Joseph Tainter There is a wonderful test of this lens in the April Popular Photography. The results are very good. Very, very good. Pentax has designed another great lens. It is sharp across the board, even sharp wide open at all focal lengths. You can't ask for more. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net

Re: Tokina 50-135 F2.8
Joseph I really hope the other reviews of Tokina (I don't care much) but specially Pentax version will be as good as your comments lead me to beleive. Pentax needs that as well as we do. Expensive times ahead indeed. -- Thibault Massart aka Thibouille -- K10D,Z1,SuperA,KX,MX, P30t and KR-10x ;) ... -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net

Re: Tokina 50-135/2.8 pics
Hi, as Tokina rep said me last saturday at Photokina - the same optics, the same coatings (sic!), just without ultrasonic focussing. So it's a very good indication indeed... Has anyone seen any pictures taken with 16-50/2.8 ??? They showed me some prints, but unfortunately couldn't give any picture files.
