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.

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.

I think I was looking at it today, (though I didn't notice what month it

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.

Tokina 50-135 F2.8

2007-03-16 Thread 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.

I guess the DA* 50-135 F2.8 will have to be on my list too. That, the 
DA* 16-50 F2.8, and Photoshop CS3. It is going to be another expensive year.

Perhaps by this time next year my LBA spending can go down. No...not 
likely. That's when Pentax will bring out the DA* 400.

And after that there will be the DA 24 F2. Maybe.

Incidentally, the same issue of Pop has a nice article about a guy who 
makes dramatic smoke photos with a K10D.

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.

BR, Margus
