If you're shopping with an unlimited budget, Olympus have recently come out with a 150-400/f4.5 (with a built-in 1.25x teleconverter) for a mere $7500... (It's also compatible with the Olympus 2x teleconverter, for extreme zoom; using both the built-in and the 2x TCx gives you up to 1000 mm actual focal length - a FOV equivalent to a 2000mm lens on a 35mm body). If you're a little more cost-conscious, you might consider a 100-400 There are a couple of options there - both Panasonic and Olympus have one (although the Olympus one is reportedly a re-badged Sigma). The panasonic gets several good reports, and comes in at around $1800. I've currently only got the Olympus 40-150/2.8 If I get the 2x teleconverter that will give me an 80-300/f5.6, which is comparable to what my FA* 250-600 got me back when I was shooting film. If I want anything more than this the first thing I'd look at is the 300mm/f4 -- %(real_name)s Pentax-Discuss Mail List To unsubscribe send an email to pdml-le...@pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
