Hi all, you may think I'm trying to collect Pentax lenses...
I'm still considering to get a good zoom for parties, weddings, any situation where switching primes can be tedious and makeing me miss shots. There's an A28-135/4 on a secondhand site for sale at about 200$. From what I've read on some Pentax lens review sites it is not a bad lens. Someone advised to look at a Tamron 24-135, said to be a great lens. How do these two compare? There are so many zooms about. I feel my decision for the 135/2.5 has to be the SMC. In the end I think I'll appreciate the quality. The Takumar is probably very nice, but softer which for some subject such as portraits might be very nice. But I like good sharp contyrasty picture. Does this help in indicating which zoom would be good? It seems that using studioflash with zooms that have changing aperture (ie 3.5-4.5) is a pain, since you never know which aperture is actually used. So if the 28-135/4 has a constant aperture, that looks good. Many thanka to all who responded to my questions. Hope to be able return something useful soon! :-) Paul Delcour
