I use the SMC Pentax-F 4-5.6 70-210mm as my travel zoom. Normally I use the SMC Pentax-FA* 2.8 80-200mm ED IF. They are both great lenses. Regards Jens Bladt http://www.jensbladt.dk +45 56 63 77 11 +45 23 43 85 77 Skype: jensbladt248
-----Oprindelig meddelelse----- Fra: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] vegne af Matt Kelch Sendt: 21. september 2006 03:13 Til: Pentax-Discuss Mail List Emne: Still in search of that telephoto zoom Well, I managed to nab two of the elusive Pentax 70-210 f4 lenses, and received one of them today. I was pretty shocked by how much it weighed. Unfortunately this lens in particular is going to be going back, it appears to have fungus and the guy described the glass as being totally clean. Its also full of dust. Hopefully the other lens is in better condition. However, I was thinking about picking up a DA 50-200mm lens (is the older non 'DA' 50-200mm just as light?), despite it being slower. The weight will end up being about 1/3 of what these lenses are, so I will atleast have a chance at using it without a tripod.
