Hello, Let me first introduce myself. I have been a Pentax owner for about 10 years and am brand new to this list and still consider myself fairly new to photography. For the last 10 years I have done a considerable amount of nighttime lightning photography but I would like to broaden my horizons a bit.
I currently have a Pentax K1000 paired up with a satisfactory 35-80 zoom and a 50mm 1.4 lens. I have about 8 other lenses ranging from 28mm to 500mm that I consider garbage for the most part. They are Vivitars, Soligors, Tokinas and the like that I have not been very impressed with. With the exception of the first two lenses I mentioned, I was disappointed at the results of some of my photos I took in the beautiful state of Washington a few weeks back and decided I need to invest in some better lenses. My question relates to what other quality, yet affordable, lenses would you recommend that I add to my arsenal? I would love to hear your recommendations for both a nice wide angle lens along with a 80-200 zoom and possibly a 400 to 500mm range zoom or telephoto. Any thoughts are really appreciated. Thank you for your time! Pat Wunsch [EMAIL PROTECTED]
