Tokina 80-200/2.8 AT-X AF I got this from a PDMLer, but with one caveat. Then I got the 80-400, so this has sat in its box and I've hardly touched it. So it should go. It's the AF version. Here's the caveat: The zoom ring has some play, so you simply keep it pulled back w

I gave one (manual focus) a whirl a couple of years ago. It's optically excellent, except perhaps @ 2.8 where it is a bit soft. For the price (often under $200 with paint wear) it's a bargain as it's 99% as good as the $1k camera-branded lenses. I got rid of it for a simple functionality matter

Kostas, I had the AF 80-200mm ATX-Pro (which a fellow PDML'er now owns :-( )...and while it is a great lens in its own right (sharp, well built, good AF) etc, they are not SMC lenses, and cannot be expected to perform to the same standards. The flare control on the Tokina lenses though is gener

2003-07-13 Thread Okipentax
I have considered purchasing the Pentax 80-200 2.8 for a while now, but the $1350 price, while I'm sure fair, isn't pocket change. Tokina's 80-200 can be had from the NYC dealers for about $599, and there is a $60 rebate available, bringing the cost to $540 or so. My question is this: Should I s
