I'm new to usernet so please bear with me.
I own a Pentax ME super camera and would like to purchase
a zoom telephotp lense. I am willing to spend up to $150.00.
I was looking at the Tokina SMZ 80-200mm 3.5 -4.5 Macro lens.
I have several questions about telephoto lens

1) Has any one had any experience with this lense or any Tokina lens
before. I 've read consumers Report and they seemed impressed by this
lens.

2) As far as Tokina lenses go, what is the difference between a lens
marked SMZ or ATX?

3) Does anyone recommend another lens in the same price range?

I would appreciate any responses. You could send them to me at
hropus!jbs or respond in the net.

Thanks.
