Hello,

Just joined. I live in NC and love my Pentax, looking for a 70-200 f2.8 and would appreciate opinions on the options.

Thanks,
David

Welcome from South Africa. The "lens review" and "lens clubs" sections on the forum is worth your while to consult.
Best.

welcome to the forums

you will find friendly members and a lot of knowledge here

there is an in depth review you may want to look at

QuoteQuote:
HD Pentax-D FA* 70-200mm F2.8 ED DC AW
Introduction
In order to cater to professional photographers, a manufacturer must meet several requirements. In addition to a full frame body, a 70-200mm F2.8 telephoto lens is very high on the list. It is thus not very surprising that Pentax released its own version of that lens just prior to the launch of the Pentax K-1 itself.

The HD Pentax-D FA* 70-200mm F2.8 ED DC AW lens was launched alongside the 15-30mm F2.8 and 24-70mm F2.8 to create a trio of fast zooms able to cover most photographer's needs. Unlike the other two lenses, which are a repackaging of a comparable Tamron lenses (otherwise unavailable for Pentax), the 70-200mm appears to be a brand new in-house design. The 70-200mm's launch was delayed after the initial announcement, to allow the engineers more time to perfect their design. . . .

Vs. Other 70-200mm Lenses . . .

I've got the D-FA* 70-200 f2.8 and it's fantastic. People complain about the weight but it's not bad if you expect it.

Humor! NEVAH!

@paddl2day Welcome from just a tad north in southern Va!

I first joined after using the reviews pages many times and I thought I should give something back. I highly recommend giving them a test drive at the link posted above too.
