Hey guys!
I have almost 20 lenses for my K-1. Some new, some old.
Mostly I use primes, or the 70-200 DFA.
But, it would be nice to have a general zoom lens that is mostly sharp all the way. It can be a benefit if it's a f/2.8 for those close shots.
I hike a lot, both in the forest and in mountain areas.
Especially the forest has poor light. I know the Pentax DFA 28-105 has a good record, but to me I find it a bit too soft, except from f/8. But I cant always stop down that much. If I do, we're talking ISO 3200 or carry a tripod everywhere. I don't love neither. To me the 28-105 looks "mushy" even at f/4 and f/5.
So I bought a Tokina 28-75 f/2.8 which arrived yesterday. But the AF is not working
Any recommendations? I have the 15-30mm f/2,8 from Pentax, but it's freaking huge and too wide mostly for my needs.
