I hope this lens arrives for review by PF, and/or lenstip soon. Although they hardly ever review any Pentax lenses nowadays, Lenstip would be particularly useful as they have also
reviewed the Tamron.
In looking at the lenstip, it's also interesting to note the similarities between the Tamron 70-210 and the [slightly older but well performing] Nikon 70-200 f4. Both have a very familiar design with some common features between the Tamron/Pentax and Nikon that suggest Tamron probably makes the Nikon too:
- 20 elements in 14 groups,
- 67 mm filter size,
- circular aperture with nine blades,
- closest focus distance 0.95-1m,
- internal zoom & focusing,
- weight: 820-860g between Nikon/Tamron/Pentax
- tripod adapter must be bought separately.
