I saw that one go on ebay... I think a lot of people underestimate the
quality of Tokina lenses. I would go out on a limb and say Tokina
lenses for the most part are as good and in many cases, better than
Pentax lenses when everything is taken into consideration and that
includes build quality. I have just completed collecting the three
lenses I wanted most all Tokina's : 80-200 f2.8, 28-70f2.8 and the
20-35 f3.5... (I think each and every one compares favourably to the
Pentax equivalent and at a fraction of the cost. I recently sold the
100-300 manual focus ATX lens which was an excellent overall lens..
Anyone looking for a great lens at a reasonable cost should consider
Tokina's offerings.

I received, in the mail today (8:00am), a lens
that was posted in the UK on Monday afternoon. Its
a Tokina 70-210, 4.5-5.6 'Red Ring'. It has a UV
filter (not mentioned in the listing), a soft
pouch and two lens caps (also not mentioned). It's
pristine -- there's not a mark of the front glass
or the back either. The 'K' mount looks like it's
never been attached to a camera. After removing
the dust (from the 'velvet' lining of the pouch )
I've failed to find a single scratch or wear mark
on the barrel. I paid £9.99 plus £8 for postage.
