William, (Is Bill OK or do you prefer William?) I know you're not a zoom lover, actually neither am I. I find that the quality of primes tend to make me look on *most* zooms as rather inferior, though there are a few exceptions. Many of my photo opportunities are quick 'shoot from the car' or 'jump out of the car and shoot'. Since I'm usually on the clock at work when I do this I can't take the time to "zoom with my feet", a zoom lens helps me fill frames without heavy cropping later.
A question for you: Do you usually find 150mm long enough? I often carry the 200/4, I frequently wish it was a bit longer. I was carrying the 300/8.0 CAT but I just don't much care for "donuts". ;-) Don > -----Original Message----- > From: William Robb [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Sunday, April 10, 2005 11:33 AM > To: pentax-discuss@pdml.net > Subject: Re: Best "mid-speed" 70/80-200/210 AF zoom? > > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Don Sanderson" > Subject: Best "mid-speed" 70/80-200/210 AF zoom? > > > > > > > **What is your favorite mid-range zoom?** > > > > I use an FA77/1.8 or an M150/3.5, and I zoom with my feet. > > > William Robb >
