You know what would be really really really nice a pentax 135-400 f/4.5 it would make a great pair with the upcoming 50-135 f/2.8... the 60-250 is a bit of a compromise ...had it been a 120-300 or maybe 350 it would be a much better fit in Pentax' lens line. a 120-300 f/2.8 would be lovely especially if it were a DFA* ie you could use it on film as welll...... Ahem!! Wake up patrick.. stop dreaming!
