I have the Tokina 28-70/2.6-2.8 and it is indeed a fine lens, optically and in terms of construction. Works perfectly with the PZ-1p and the MZ-S. Takes 77mm filters so I only need one set for it and the 80-200/2.8 Pentax. >--- Bruce Dayton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> Nick, >> >> I have the current ATX 28-70 2.6-2.8 lens and I can >> tell you that it >> is good.
