Originally posted by sharepointalex Hi Guys,
I'm looking for a fast zoom lens e.g. f/2.8. I can't justify the price tag for an AF version so thinking about an old MF model. Can anyone recommend one?
It would be useful if it had the auto exposure feature so I can use the green button. I've spotted the Tamron Adaptall being mentioned and a Vivitar one. Also does anyone know of any places to buy these in the UK? there isn't many on ebay although I guess I could search another country.
Thanks in advance,
Alex
Funny you should ask. I just scored a mint Tokina 80-200 2.8 pka on ebay for 149.00. The price was a mistake on his part as they are typically in the 300-400 range. Rock sold build and very compact for a constant 2.8 in that zoom range. The image quality is fantastic! If my life ever slows down I'll post a review. I have been playing with it for a week and would certainly recommend it.
