d say go with Tokina. For me, f4 is too slow for any lens under 200 or 300mm, zoom or prime. Sincerely, Ryan Charron > -- > Date: Fri, 12 Apr 2002 09:55:05 +0200 > From: Sylwester Pietrzyk <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >

Try the Tokina 28-70 F2.6-2.8 Pro II. It is very good. If price is really a concern, go for Pentax FA 28-70 F8. You loose one F-stop but you gain a factor of 4 in price ($400 to $100). The Pentax is also not well build as the Tokina but the optics is good. Regards, Alex -
