Re: Pentax smc DA* 50-135mm SDM Issue

I agree. One of the lenses in my Canon system is a Tokina AT-X 300/2.8 SD AF. A very well regarded lens by Photodo. Yes it doesn't have IS and it doesn't have USM or HSM. On the other hand it only cost me $700. Where else can you buy a sharp 300/2.8 AF lens for that price? Even the pre-IS Canon 300/2.8 lenses cost twice as much used. Heck I could have paid that much for a Tamron AD-2 300/2.8 manual lens.
