Finding a lens review...

[Buschmaster]

I'm having a trouble finding a review for this lens:
Pentax FA 80-200 4.7-5.6
Has anyone used this lens or know where I can at least find a review of it? I googled and everything.

Is the F the same as the FA?

Is the F the same as the FA?

No. But someone on that link posted above says the optics are the same. The F one is manual focus only.

I noticed that little part.

This looks like a pretty good lens. I could pick one up for $45 used, I may pounce on it.

don't know aot the Pentax lens except the reviews linked about
I have a nikon lens with about the same specs. Good for bright outdoor shots but useless for my daughter's gymnastics (indoors) I use my 85mm f/1.8 for that. 200mm f/5.6 is to slow for things that move indoors.

just so you know, that's 55-135 or so on a DSLR.

Wouldn't it be like a 120-300?
