Luckily, by the time these babies ship, my finances will have had a chance to recover from the hit they're about to take rebuilding the engine, brakes, and clutch on our RX-7 race car. ;-) I'll definitely get the 60-250/4 if I can afford it. Might even get rid of the FA* 200/2.8, F* 300/4.5, and Sigma 400/5.6 if it's good enough. Naah, the Sigma might go, but the Pentaxes stay. :-) It /could/ be really expensive. OTOH, it might not. Less glass than an 80-200/2.8, for example. Makes me wonder if it might even come in under US$ 1000. The last time I looked, the 80-200/2.8, if you could find one, was running north of US$ 1,200, IIRC. Very high probability I'll get the 16-50/2.8 if (a) I can afford it after buying the K10D and the 60-250/4, and (b) it provides better image quality than the 16-45/4 that I have. The speed isn't as big a deal for me in this case, though it would surely be nice. The 50-135/2.8 doesn't do much for me on paper, but I'll reserve judgement until it's out and we've given it some tests. And I see how much it costs. -- Thanks, DougF (KG4LMZ) -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
