Hello all I know Tamron/Sigma makes wonderful 28-200, 28-300mm zooms for Pentax. They are nice and small and everything I can ask for. (If picture quality matters that much I can always use my primes, there arer some applications where one of these would do)
There is only one problem.... I HATE the turn zooms. I can only turn one barrel at a time and I use manual focus... I love the push-pull zooms that I can focus by turning and zoom by pushing/pulling. (note, I only use manual focus bodies, they don't even have A mode..., MX, ME Super SE) Now I have one of these Tokina ATX 50-250mm. Wonderful lens, great picture quality, etc. but it's too big... For what I got it for, which is a general lens on my camra body in case I only want to take one lens, it is way too big and too heavy. Can someone recommend a lens that goes from wide or normal to tele that is small, light, push-pull and has resonable build/picture? Thanks L PS: If you want that Tokina ATX 50-250. Make an offer... It is just collecting dust right now... I might get rid of it...
