I did some quick tests - and now it seems to have improved to the same
performance as the Tokina 2.8-4.3 28-70mm at 28mm and still much better at
70mm. It's still not as impressive as it used to be. Not as sharp as the
(very expensive) SMC FA 2.8/28-70mm.
Yes, I agree. If I

How can you get on your high horse and make a statment like that without

Don't you realize that visual impressions gotten by long experience in

It's only disadvantages is that it has noticeable distortion at 28mm
and that is flare prone? HAR!
Thats like buying a car with its only disadvantages being a wimpy
engine
I have this lens, and I also had the F 35-80 4-5.6, until I sold the
latter last January, and the Tokina is sharper. In fact, it is very
sharp for a zoom lens, its only disadvantages being noticeable
barrel distortion at 28 mm. and that it is a flare prone lens,
compared to SMC Pentax lenses.

Zooms do not inherently have to have noticeable distortion,
sure a lot of cheap ones do, but that does not make it
acceptable or minor problem IMHO

Yes, he said the lens was more flare prone than a SMC lens.
One would have to assume under same conditions.
I wouldn't count on that.
