I bought mine new back in the 1980's. I'd say its one of the best A series zoom lenses ever made.

Enjoy your new toy.

Cheers,

APV - now that takes me back. My father worked for them for about 30 years or so until they closed down the Manor Royal factory back in the 1980's.

The Optio look like quite a capable little camera btw.

I still use mine rather than the DA* 300mm because the image is about 11% bigger.
Just wondering, why is the image bigger. They are both 300mm lenses after all ?

If you don't mind manual focusing there is a nice looking Pentax 400mm on ebay. At the price I'm surprised its still there to be honest.

I agree. Over the Xmas period mine has been on the K10 pretty much all the time.

I wrote a post about the pricing of the Tokina/Pentax 12-24 here in Sweden back in the Spring of 2010. link Basically, back then you could buy the Tokina version in a Nikon mount with a D90 camera for almost the same price as just the Pentax badged 12-24 lens.

It's a shame that canikony users get the benifit of a 'Pentax' lens for less.
