I just saw this lens, myself and wondered about the reviews. Are you all still liking yours? Also, I have a Pentax k X, I'm assuming it will work just fine with that camera will have auto focus still and program capabilities? Thanks.

Thanks so much for the explanation of lens names and letters. Also, I love the website from Jatrax k-mount lens explanation.
So much to think about.

Thanks. Then, without the DOF consideration...which of these lenses would you prefer?

Can anyone please advise me on choosing between 2 lenses? I am a beginner and just bought a Pentax K-X at Christmas. It came with the kit lens of 18-55mm. I would like to have a longer zoom lens. I have been checking around and I believe I have finally landed between 2 lenses that fit in my price range. I can buy either a Tokina AF 70-210 1:4-5.6 or Pentax 50-200 F 4-5.6 ED. I enjoy photos that have a decent depth of field aspect to them (with the blurred background). So, can you please advise on which lens would be better for me? Thanks so much!!

I just bought a K-X yesterday and I can already tell I would want a zoom lens up to either 200mm or 300 mm. And I'm pretty sure I want it to have a range of aperture values, so I can zoom in on someone or something and have a blurred background. I am very, very new to the DSLR world and would like input on different lenses. I see some on the marketplace for about $89-$100, which is what I would be able to spend at this time since I just bought the camera. :) What brands of lenses are better....Tamron, Sigma, Pentax? I just don't know.
Thanks so much!
