The Tamron (Adaptall2) 5.6/300
This is just in case someone from Pentax cares to monitor this
list, otherwise I wouldn't bother any of you with such obvious
truths:
from Herbert Kepple's article:

I am also looking for a tele so got interested in the post.
Any idea how does this Tamrom compare against the Pentax 80-320
shot at longest range?
Thanks,

How big is the Kiron (I like the compactness of the M and its 49mm filter

Dear List,
Got to handle an MZ-S with and without the grip on Friday. Wow. The most
ergonomic camera I have ever held. I like a lot of things about it which
have been discussed extensively on this list. The only gripe I have is the
way you select focus points.

They didn't want to guarantee the job. But my only other option was to send

Well, it's fairly sharp stopped down, but is a bit softer than a
couple of the other Pentax 85's wide open. It does have fairly
decent bokeh, in my opinion. It's not a bad little 85 at all.

Robert,
Yes, it certainly is very comfortable to hold and use. That was one
of the selling points to me. After holding the PZ-1p's for so long,
the MZ-S just fit my hand more comfortably - less strain.
The focus select is not one of the strong points on the camera. It is
quite usable as long
I don't have a macro to compare it to, but the K105/2.8 handles well, and is a nice
focal length to work with, and is indeed sharp.
Bokeh can be pretty gruesome though, especially with any kind of out of focus
specular highlights. More than any other lens I own (or have owned) I have to be

I have three Vivitar Series 1 lenses. The first a Mint 90-180 Flat
Field, a 28-90 2.8-3.5 and a 70-210 3.5. The first I've used with great
results to me with the limited experience that I have. The other two
aren't tested enough to form an opinion. If someone has a knowledgable
opinion about one,
I believe the MZ-3 to have the same auto-focus system as the MZ5(n), which
is quite fast IF there is enough light. Metering of the MZ5/MZ3 is, in my
opinion, excellent. MZ-S should be about the same but then somewhat faster,
and the metering is also more advanced. You get what you pay for,
Rod.
