Tokina 50-135

2008-10-06 Thread Tom Lesser
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. Does anyone know whether Pentax is planning to offer the lens with a mount, or if not, where I can buy a Tokina? Thank you Tom
