Emne: Re: Advice re walk around lens Australian outback


I use the Pentax DA 50-200 extensively. It's a very nice lens. I just 
posted a couple of PESO pics that I shot with it. These are both at f8. 
The first is at 200mm, the second at 160mm. I also use this lens for 
walkarounds when I want a little more reach than a normal length. It 
autofocuses very nicely and is quite compact for this focal length. I 
focused it manually here, because the water spray and foreground rope 
can sometimes fool the autofocus. I've only owned one Sigma lens, a 
17-35 and found it no match for any of my Pentax glass. I replaced it 
with the DA 16-45. However, I don't know anything about the two Sigma 
lenses you've named here.
Paul
