Ok, so where are they? Please don't list standard zoom lenses (24-90, 28-80, 28-105 and so on), which are too short and overlapping. Also, please don't list 80-320 and 100-300, which are too long and slow. None of the above match my simple requirement. I just need 50-150mm focal length (more or less equivalent to 70-210 on film), f/4 and good performance on the *ist D (APS or FF). Do I have to explain such a simple concept further? A typical advanced amateur outfit: 60's: 28 (or 35) + 50 + 85 (or 105) + 135 (or 200) 70's: 28 + 50 + 70-210 80's: 24 (or 28) + 50 (or 35-70) + 70-210 90's: 24-90 (or 28-80) + 100-300 (or 80-320) *ist D: 16-45 + ??? Please replace ??? with a matching Pentax lens. Dario
