Subject: Re: Help me pick a Pentax Zoom Lens (please)
It just dawned on my you may be the person mentioning the other day that
Pentax zooms are slow. There is the fearfully heavy FA*80-200/2.8 (yes,
very, very constant :-) that may be right up your street, if you can get
it. People have raved and raved about it on film; I *seem* to recall Herb
(who, let's face it, is a nitpicker :-))) found a degradation in its
qualities on digital, but I may be wrong in that recollection.
wasn't. it's heavy enough that i don't carry it often though. the DA 50-200
is more convenient much of the time and isn't that much worse.
Apologies. I thought you had mentioned that in the list of your lenses
which were extremely good on film, but no quite so on digital. Was it
the 24-90?
