Now I gotta find a lens that is cheap, future-proof and hopefully able to keep focus during HD shoots.
I've just started reading a whole lot of stuff about adapters and different kinds of lens - nikon/olympus/tokina/canon FD and my head is spinning already.
So any suggestions for a good cheap lens adapter and a decent zoom lens upto 200/300/400mm?

Thanks in advance and for the great job Vitaliy and the community is doing.]]> http://www.personal-view.com/talks/discussion/128/i-want-fast-m43-zoom Mon, 23 May 2011 12:23:19 +0000 stoney 128@/talks/discussions

It is up to you to decide if seller is credible with 7 feedback, but looking at his reall feedback it seems so.]]> http://www.personal-view.com/talks/discussion/83/good-deals-tokina-at-x-24-200mm-lens Fri, 13 May 2011 08:10:34 +0000 Vitaliy_Kiselev 83@/talks/discussions
Other question is - why AT-X (reserved for top Tokina lenses) mark on ultrazoom? Are they nuts?

I'll provide you some answers :-)

First. It is best ultrazoom, considering build quality. Solid aluminium barrel. A bit large, but feels perfect on camera.
Second. This is parfocal ultrazoom, only one that I know of. It means that it maintains focus during zooming.
Do you want to focus pricisely in 24mm? Zoom all the way in, focus and zoom back :-)
This is main reason why it holds AT-X mark.

One of the downsides is very short focus throw and small focus ring.
One of pluses - normal and handy aperture ring.






Get at quite cheap price (for this lens) in Nikon mount:
