Re: Sigma 28-70mm F2.8 EX Aspherical DF vs 28-70 F2.8 Tokina ATX Pro

2004-10-29 Thread Ryan Lee
It wasn't the DG- just the EX DF (the first incarnation wasn't DF, i.e. no focus 'clutch'- think those float about the used market quite often..) Have they released the DG 28-70 2.8 already? Guess I haven't been keeping up to date. When I purchased mine 3 years ago, it was just before the 24-70 2.

This one is surplus to my requirements because I do not have any AF bodies. The flash has no external sensor, TTL only, works with the current generation of AF Pentaxes. Would 30 euros be a good price? Mail me off-list. All the best! Raimo K Personal photography homepage at: http://www.uusikaupun

The Graphic is another thing: not enough long focus and not enough small format to show the problem, I guess. I can assure you that precise focus at infinity is a well-
